Abstract: The title ionic compound, (C₂₁H₂₇N₂)[AuCl₄]·CH₂Cl₂, was obtained from the reaction of 1,3-dimesitylimidazolidinium chloride with t-BuOK and a solution of AuCl₃ in tetrahydrofuran. In the crystal structure, numerous weak C-HCl hydrogen bonds form double layers parallel to (100), which are further stabilized by - interactions between mesitylene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 4.308 (4) Å], resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular assembly.
