Cover illustration: Silver is oligodynamic as a result of its excellent anti­microbial, anti­bacterial and anti­cancer properties. Continuous development of phosphine silver(I) complexes has resulted in this class of compounds being evaluated against numerous cancer cell lines. In this context, the phosphine silver(I) complex with nitrite as a co-ligand, nitrito-κ2O,O′)bis­[tris­(4-methyl­phen­yl)phosphane-κP]silver(I), is reported. The mol­ecular structure exhibits a pseudo-tetra­hedral coordination around the central AgI atom. The compound crystallizes with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a rather long b axis [33.8752 (2) Å]. Weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N inter­actions consolidate the crystal packing. The nitrite-O atoms each occupy a single position in the coordination geometry.

The title complex exhibits a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry. The CuN6 coordination sphere is composed of bidentate 2,2′-dipyrid­yl)amine in the equatorial sites while the axial sites are occupied by 1,1,3,3-tetra­cyano-2-eth­oxy­propenide ligands. In the crystal, N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding results in chains parallel to [010].
