[μ-1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-κ2P:P′]bis[chloridogold(I)]–chloroform–hexane (2/2/1)

Abstract

In the title mixed solvate, [Au2Fe(C17H14P)2Cl2]·CHCl3·0.5CH3(CH2)4CH3, the hexane solvent molecule is disposed about an inversion centre. The Au atoms exist within nearly ideal linear coordination defined by P,Cl-donor sets, and when viewed down the P...P axis the Au atoms are gauche to each other. In the crystal structure, the chloroform solvent molecule is associated with the complex via a C—H...Cl contact, and the hexane solvent molecules occupy voids defined by the remaining components of the structure.
