Figure 1
(a) The X-ray structure of tris(μ₂-3,5-diisopropyl-1,2,4-triazolato-κ²N¹:N²)trigold(I) in the literature-reported phase (Form-I), with ellipsoids drawn at the 30% probability level and H atoms omitted for clarity. The inset illustrates the aggregation of the complexes in the solid state to form a staggered prismatic hexamer via aurophilic interactions. (b) The packing and aurophilic interactions in the crystal structure of Form-I (left) and Form-II (right); all atoms except gold have been omitted for clarity.
