| Summary: | The title compound, [Au2Br2(C27H26P2)], features linearly coordinated AuI atoms within P,Br-donor sets. The central portion of the molecule is practically planar as quantified by the Br–Au...Au–Br torsion angle of −169.9 (2)°. The P—Au—Br chromophores are twisted with respect to each other [dihedral angle = 52.3 (6)°]. The benzene rings on each P atom lie on either side of this plane. The Au atoms are positioned at the periphery of the molecule, which facilitates the formation of Au...Au interactions [3.2575 (11) Å] that result in the formation of supramolecular chains along the b-axis direction. The Au...Au interactions are responsible for the deviations from the ideal linear geometry for each Au atom. |
