In the title compound, (C21H22N)2[AuCl4]Cl, the AuIII atom adopts a square-planar coordination geometry defined by four chloride ions. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N-H
Cl hydrogen bonds link the organic cations and the uncoordinated chloride ion.
A solution of tribenzylamine (0.22 g, 0.74 mmol) in methanol (15 ml) was added to a solution of HAuCl4.3H2O, (0.29 g, 0.74 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 ml) and the resulting yellow solution was stirred for 30 min at 313 K. Then, it was left to evaporate slowly at room temperature. After five days, yellow blocks of (I) were isolated (yield 0.50 g; 71.1%; m.p. < 573 K).
All H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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 > σ(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. |

There are several proton transfer systems using tribenzylamine, with proton donor molecules, such as {(TBA)(DBA)[CuCl4]}, (II), (Zeng et al., 1994), (TBA)[DCHSTO], (III), (Jarvine et al., 1988) and {(TBA)3[PtCl6]Cl}, (IV), (Yousefi et al., 2007) [where TBA is tribenzylammonium, DBA is dibenzylammonium and DCHSTO is 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3-decacarbonyl-2,3-(µ-hydrido) -2,3-(µ-sulfonyl)-triangulo-tri-osmium] have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods.
There are also several proton transfer systems using HAuCl4 with proton acceptor molecules, such as [EMI][AuCl4], (V) and [BMI]2[AuCl4].2H2O, (VI), (Hasan et al., 1999), [H2bipy][AuCl4][Cl], (VII), (Zhang et al., 2006), [H7O3][15-crown-5][AuCl4], (VIII) and [H5O2][benzo-15-crown-5]2[AuCl4], (IX), (Johnson & Steed, 1998), [H5O2]2[12-crown-4]2[AuCl4]2, (X), [H3O][18-crown-6][AuCl4], (XI) and [H3O] [4-nitrobenzo-18-crown-6][AuCl4], (XII), (Calleja et al., 2001), [DPpy.H][AuCl4], (XIII), (Yap et al., 1995), [H2DA18C6][AuCl4].2H2O, (XIV), (Hojjat Kashani et al., 2008), [dafonium][dafone][AuCl4], (XV), (Safari et al., 2009), [pz(py)2.H][AuCl4], (XVI), (Yıldırım, Akkurt, Safari et al., 2009a), [Ph2Phen.H][AuCl4], (XVII), (Yıldırım, Akkurt, Safari, Abedi et al., 2009b) [Where EMI is 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, BMI is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, H2bipy is 2,2'-bipyridinium, DPpy.H is 2,6-diphenylpyridinium, H2DA18C6 is 1,10-diazonia-18-crown-6, dafonium is 9-oxo-4,5-diazafluoren-4-ium, dafone is 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one, pz(py)2.H is 2-(3-pyridin-2-ylpyrazin-2-yl)pyridinium and Ph2Phen.H is 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10- phenanthrolin-1-ium] 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 molecule of the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1), contains two independent protonated tribenzylammonium cations and [AuCl4]- and Cl- anions. The AuIII atom has a squareplanar environment defined by four Cl atoms. The bond lengths and angles, in cation, are in good agreement with the corresponding values in (II), (III) and (IV). In [AuCl4]- anion, the Au—Cl bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal range (X, XIII, XIV, XV and XVI).
In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 2) result in the formation of a supramolecular structure (Fig. 2).
