Abstract

The title complex, [Au(2)Cl(2)(C(26)H(21)NP(2))], has an intra-molecular Au⋯Au inter-action of 3.1669 (4) Å, but no inter-molecular Au⋯Au inter-actions in the solid state. The Cl-Au-P bond angle of 176.84 (7)° is slightly distorted from linearity. The P-C bond length to the phenyl group is shorter [1.810 (7) Å] than the P-C bond length [1.876 (7) Å] to the bridging carbon, indicative of the flexibility of the bidentate bite of the ligand. The C-C N fragment is essentially linear at 179.5 (9)° and the C N bond length of 1.125 (11) Å indicates predominantly triple-bond character. In the crystal packing, there are no hydrogen-bonding or aurophilic inter-actions between the mol-ecules.
