Dichlorido(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-[kappa]2N,N')gold(III) tetrachloridoaurate(III)

R. Ahmadi, V. Amani and H. R. Khavasi

Abstract top

In the cation of the title compound, [AuCl2(C24H16N2)][AuCl4], the AuIII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar configuration by two N atoms from a 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two terminal Cl atoms. In the anion, the AuIII atom has a square-planar coordination. In the crystal structure, intra- and intermolecular C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds are found.

Comment top

Recently, we reported the synthesis and crystal structure of [H2DA18C6]- [AuCl4].2H2O, (II) (Hojjat Kashani et al., 2008) [where H2DA18C6 is 1,10-Diazonia-18-crown-6]. There are several AuIII complexes, with formula, [AuCl2(N—N)], such as [AuCl2(bipy)][BF4], (III) (Mclnnes et al., 1995), [AuCl2(bipy)](NO3), (IV) (Bjernemose et al., 2004), [AuCl2(bipy)]- [AuBr4], (V) (Hayoun et al., 2006) and [AuCl2(phen)]Cl.H2O, (VI) (Abbate et al., 2000) [where bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline] have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. There are also two AuIII complexes, with formula, [AuCl2L2], such as [AuCl2(py)2][AuCl4], (VII) and [AuCl2(py)2]Cl.H2O, (VIII) (Adams & Strahle, 1982) [where py is pyridine] have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I).

The asymmetric unit of (I), (Fig. 1) contains one cation and one anion. In the cation, the AuIII atom is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar configuration by two N atoms from 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two terminal Cl atoms. In the anion, the Au ion has a square-planar coordination. In the cation, the Au-Cl and Au-N bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are in good agreement with the corresponding values in (III) and (IV). In the anion, the Au-Cl bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal ranges.

In the crystal structure, intra- and intermolecular C-H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 2) link the molecules, in which they may be effective in the stabilization of the structure.

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 4,7-diphenyl-1,10- phenanthroline (0.21 g, 0.63 mmol) in EtOH (30 ml) was added to a solution of HAuCl4.3H2O, (0.25 g, 0.63 mmol) in acetonitrile (40 ml) and the resulting yellow solution was stirred for 10 min at 313 K. Then, it was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After one week, yellow prismatic crystals were isolated (yield; 0.45 g, 75.8%, m.p. < 573 K).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C-H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
