Crystal structure of (N^C) cyclo-metalated Au^III diazide at 100 K.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, an (N^C)-cyclo-metalated gold(III) diazide, namely, di-azido-[5-eth-oxy-carbonyl-2-(5-eth-oxy-carbonyl-pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ² C ¹,N]gold(III), [Au(C₁₇H₁₆NO₄)(N₃)₂] or Au(ppy^Et)(N₃)₂, was synthesized by reacting Au(ppy^Et)Cl₂ with NaN₃ in water for 24 h. The complex has been structurally characterized and features a gold center with a square-planar environment. The Au-N(azide) bond lengths are significantly different depending on the influence of the atom trans to the azide group [Au-N(trans to C) of 2.067 (2) Å versus Au-N(trans to N) of 2.042 (2) Å]. The azide groups are twisted in-and-ou
