[N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamato-S,S']dichlorogold( II)

Abstract

[Au(C5H10NO2S2)Cl2], Mr = 448.1, space group P212121 (No. 19), a = 7.446 (2), b = 11.434 (4), c = 13.110 (3) A, V = 1116.2 (5) A3, Z = 4, Dm = 2.74 (5), Dx = 2.67 g cm 3, graphite-monochromatized Mo Ka radiation, lambda = 0.71069 A, mu = 144.0 cm-1, F(000) = 832.2, T = 298 K, R = 0.0432, wR = 0.0397 for 1974 unique reflections and 118 parameters. The gold atom is in a roughly squareplanar environment, distorted as a result of the small bite distance of the chelating dithiocarbamate ligand. Molecules pack in the crystal lattice such that there are linear...S...Au...S... chains parallel to the a axis.
