Synthese und Kristallstruktur des Komplexsalzes [Au(tBu2PH)2][HCl2] / Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Complex Salt [Au(tBu2PH)2][HCl2]

The synthesis and the characterization of the complex salt [Au(tBu2PH)2][HCl2] (2) resulting from the reaction of hydrogen tetrachloridoaurate(III) hydrate with tBu2PH in dichloromethane at room temperature is reported. Single crystals of 2 have been analyzed by X-ray crystallography: monoclinic, P21=c, Z = 12, a = 12:0805(3), b = 12:3729(4), c = 46:7506(13) Å ; ß = 90:948(2)°; V = 6986:9(3) Å3; T = 173(2) K. The hydrogen bihalide anions [HCl2]- fill the interstices between the large complex cations [Au(tBu2PH)2]+ in the crystal.
