Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a non-solvate form of a digold(I) complex, revealing its unique molecular arrangement and intermolecular interactions.
Supporting Evidence
- The crystal structure shows two almost linear P—AuI—Cl units in a skewed arrangement.
- The complex molecules are connected through intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions.
- The study compares the non-solvate form with a previously reported diethylether solvate form.
Takeaway
Scientists studied a special gold compound and found out how its molecules are arranged and interact with each other.
Methodology
The crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffraction techniques.
