Crystal structures of five gold(I) complexes with methyl-piperidine ligands.

ABSTRACT: In bis-(4-methyl-piperidine-κN)gold(I) chloride, [Au(C₆H₁₃N)₂]Cl (1), the methyl groups are, as expected, equatorial at the piperidine ring, but the Au atom is axial; this is the case for all five structures reported here, as is the expected linear coordination at the Au atom. Hydrogen bonding of the form N-H⋯Cl^-⋯H-N leads to inversion-symmetric dimers, which are further connected by C-H⋯Au contacts. Bis(4-methyl-piperidine-κN)gold(I) di-chlorido-aurate(I), [Au(C₆H₁₃N)₂][AuCl₂] (2), also forms inversion-symmetric dimers; these involve aurophilic inter-actions and three-centre hydrogen bonds of the form NH(⋯Cl)₂. Bis(4-methyl-piperidine-κN)gold(I) di-bromido-
