Bis(2,6-dimethyl-pyridine-κN)gold(I) tetra-chloridoaurate(III)

چکیده مقاله

In the cation of the title compound, [Au(C7H9N)2][AuCl4], the Au ^I atom is two-coordinated in a linear arrangement by two N atoms from two 2,6-dimethyl-pyridine ligands. In the anion, the Au^III atom has a virtually square-planar coordination geometry. The Au atoms both are located on centers of inversion. The crystal structure involves inter-molecular C - H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
