Abstract: The structure of the title compound, [Au₂Fe(C₂₁H₂₃NP)(C₁₇H₁₄P)Cl₂], displays the pseudo-linear [P-Au-Cl = 175.4 (1) and 174.0 (1)°] two-coordinate geometry usually observed in gold(I) complexes. The Au-P bond distances are 2.237 (2) and 2.224 (2) Å and the Au-Cl distances are 2.271 (3) and 2.278 (2) Å. The bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl ligand links the gold metal centres in a bidentate fashion via the ferrocene group, thus leading to a binuclear gold system.
