Crystal structures of the isotypic complexes bis-(morpholine)-gold(I) chloride and bis-(morpholine)-gold(I) bromide.

ABSTRACT: The compounds bis-(morpholine-κN)gold(I) chloride, [Au(C₄H₉NO)₂]Cl, 1, and bis-(morpholine-κN)gold(I) bromide, [Au(C₄H₉NO)₂]Br, 2, crystallize isotypically in space group C2/c with Z = 4. The gold atoms, which are axially positioned at the morpholine rings, lie on inversion centres (so that the N-Au-N coordination is exactly linear) and the halide anions on twofold axes. The residues are connected by a classical hydrogen bond N-H⋯halide and by a short gold⋯halide contact to form a layer structure parallel to the bc plane. The morpholine oxygen atom is not involved in classical hydrogen bonding.
