{μ-1,2-Bis[bis(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphanyl]-1,2-diethylhydrazine-κ²P:P′}bis[chloridogold(I)] tetrahydrofuran disolvate

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 173 K; mean (C-C) = 0.006 Å; R factor = 0.022; wR factor = 0.059; data-to-parameter ratio = 21.5.The title compound, [Au 2 Cl 2 (C 32 H 38 N 2 O 4 P 2 )]Á2C 4 H 8 O, is formed from a bidentate phosphine ligand complexed to two linear gold(I) nuclei [P-Au-Cl = 175.98 (3) ]. The nuclei are 3.1414 (2) Å apart. The molecule exhibits a twofold symmetry axis. Stacks of the compound are formed through intermolecular C-HÁ Á ÁCl interactions, while the tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvate is further attached to the stacks through weak C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonding from the THF O atom to two separate H atoms on the complex.
