The title complex, [Au2(C17H11N)2(C12H10P)]ClO4·C2H3N, contains two AuIII atoms bridged by a diphenyl­phosphanide ligand. Each Au atom is in a square-planar environment coordinated by diphenyl­phosphanide and 2,6-diphenyl­pyridine ligands. There are weak ππ stacking inter­actions between neighbouring mol­ecules (the inter­planar separations between two neighbouring dpp units are 3.40 and 3.57 Å). The intra­molecular Au⋯Au separation is 3.788 (5) Å. The crystal structure shows weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving an O atom of the perchlorate counter-ion and the N atom of the acetonitrile solvent mol­ecule, respectively.

Recently, extensive investigations on the biological properties of gold(III) have been reported (Kui et al., 2006; Wong et al., 1998). The stability of metal compounds is usually enhanced by multidentate chelating ligands. Li and his co-workers have reported multinuclear gold complex of 2,6-diphenyl-Pyridine ligand (dpp) to generate a planar gold(III) moiety (Li et al., 2006). In this context, the title complex, (I), has been prepared and its crystal structure is reported here.

The title compound show gold(III) atoms bridged by diphenylphosphanide. Each Au atom is surrounded by one P atom from diphenylphosphanide ligand and two C atoms, one N atom from dpp in a square-planar geometry, the least-squares plane through AuIII and dpp has a mean deviation of 0.04 (3) Å. The intramolecular Au···Au contact of 3.788Å is beyond a normal range of metal-metal interactions for d8 metal ions (3.09–3.50 Å) (Yam et al., 2002; Goshe et al., 2003; Lu et al., 2004). The Au–N(pyridyl) distances (2.027 (3), 2.041 (3) Å) are comparable to the related distances found in [Au(dpp)L]n+ analogues (1.94–2.06 Å), The Au–C(phenyl) distances (2.091 (3)–2.113 (3) Å) are comparable to the related distances found in [Au(dpp)L]n+ analogues (2.06–2.13 Å) (Li et al., 2006). The interplanar separation between two neighbouring dpp molecules are 3.40 and 3.57Å (Fig. 2). The crystal packing shows weak intermolecular C-H..O and C-H···N hydrogen bonds with O atoms of perchlorate counter-ion and N atom of acetonitrile molecule respectively. (Fig. 3, Table 2).

Experimental top

A mixture of Au(dpp)Cl (0.092 g, 0.2 mmol) and diphenylphosphine (0.018 g, 0.1 mmol) in acetonitrile (30 ml) was stirred for 2 h. Excess LiClO4 was then added to yield a yellow precipitate, which was filtered, washed with diethyl ether. The precipitate was redissolve in acetonitrile. Yellow crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were formed by vapour diffusion of diethyl ethyl ether into acetonitrile solution.

Refinement top

All hydrogen atoms were generated geometrically (C—H bond lengths of methyl group fixed at 0.98 Å, C—H bond lengths of pyridyl and phenyl fixed at 0.95 Å), assigned appropriated isotropic thermal parameters, 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.
