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.
