Pg. Jones et B. Ahrens, GOLD(I) COMPLEXES WITH AMINE LIGANDS .1. A NOVEL STOICHIOMETRY FOR CHLOROGOLD(I) COMPLEXES - STRUCTURE OF L4AU3CL3 (L = PYRROLIDINE), Chemische Berichte, 130(12), 1997, pp. 1813-1814
The reaction between (tht)AuCl (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) and neat py
rrolidine (L) leads to the compound L4Au3Cl3. An X-ray structure deter
mination reveals the presence of molecules LAuCl and ions L2Au+ and Cl
-, in the ratio 2:1:1. The packing is characterised by Au...Au contact
s and N-H...Cl- hydrogen bonds.
