Crystal structure of bis[μ-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane-κ2P:P′]digold(I) dichloride acetone monosolvate monohydrate

In the title complex salt, [Au2{(C6H5)2PCH2P(C6H5)2}]Cl2·(CH3)2C=O·H2O, the dication forms an eight-membered {—PCPAu}2 ring with a transannular aurophilic interaction [Au...Au = 2.9743 (2) Å]. The ring approximates a flattened boat conformation, with the two methylene C atoms lying ca 0.58–0.59 Å ab...
