Synthesis and structural characterisation of some 1:1:2 complexes of silver(I) compounds with triphenylpnictides and “ethylenediamine”, [(Ph3E)(N-en)Ag(N-en-N')2Ag(N-en)(EPh3)]2+(X−)2

•Dinuclear ionic derivatives of formula [Ag(EPh3)(en)2]2X2 have been synthesized.•First dinuclear silver derivatives containing both EPh3 and en ligands.•X-ray studies show en acting both as bridging linker between two Ag centres and as monodentate ligand.•Ancillary ligands EPh3 strongly influence the Ag-N bond distances and N-Ag-N bond angles.
