Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of triphenylphosphine (N,N-diethyldithio-carbamato) gold(I), (C6H5)3PAuSSCN(C2H5)2, has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray methods. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP21/c witha = 13·547(1),b = 12·277(1),c = 14·013(1) Å, β = 90·81(1) ° andZ = 4. Three-dimensional intensity data were collected on an automatic diffracto-meter. Atomic parameters were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to a conventionalR value of 0·04 for 2318 non-zero observed reflexions.
In this complex the diethyldithiocarbamate moiety acts as a monodentate ligand, the
double-bond distance being 1·68(1) Å and the
bond involving the sulphur atom that is coordinated to the gold atom being 1·75(1) Å. The gold atom is linearly coordinated, the
angle being 175·7(1) ° and the
and
distances being 2·338(3) and 2·251(3) Å, respectively.
