Abstract

The packings of the crystal structures of the gold(III) iodide, perchlorate, and hexafluorophosphate complexes with the iminate-amine ligand, [Au(C9H19N4)]Y2 (Y = I (I), ClO4 (II), and PF6 (III)), are studied in comparison. The packings of structures I–III are similar. They are determined and stabilized by a vast network of intermolecular interactions (hydrogen bonds N-H…A, C-H…A, C-H…Au, and C-H…π and short contacts Au…A (A = I, O, F)). Structures I–III are characterized by cation-cationic and cationanionic infinite chains and closed rings formed by classical and nonclassical hydrogen bonds and contacts. The structures include multicentered hydrogen bonds. The replacement of the anion does not basically change the packing structures.
