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

Abstract

The title compound, [Au2Cl2(C32H38N2O4P2)]·2C4H8O, 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—H...Cl interactions, while the tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvate is further attached to the stacks through weak C—H...O hydrogen bonding from the THF O atom to two separate H atoms on the complex.
