Synthesis and crystal structure of di-chlorido-(1,10-phenanthroline-κ²N,N')gold(III) hexa-fluorido-phosphate.

ABSTRACT: A gold(III) salt of composition [AuCl₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)]PF₆ was prepared and characterized by elemental and mass spectrometric analysis (ESI(+)-QTOF-MS), ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The square-planar coordination sphere of Au^III comprises the bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two chloride ions, with the Au^III ion only slightly shifted from the least-squares plane of the ligating atoms (r.m.s. = 0.018 Å). In contrast to two other previously reported Au^III-phenantroline structures that are stabilized by inter-actions involving the chlorido ligands, the packing of the title compound does not present these features. Instead, the hexa-fluorido
