Bis(1,1,2,2-tetramethyldiphosphane-1,2-dithione-κ2S,S′)gold(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Au(C4H12P2S2)2](CF3SO3), the gold(I) atom is tightly bonded to two S atoms belonging to different ligand molecules and forms two weaker contacts to the remaining S atoms. The coordination geometry around gold is intermediate between linear-dicoordinate and tetrahedral with an S—Au—S angle of 161.49 (3)°.
