Abstract
The structure of the title compound, (C6H10N2)[AuBr4]Br·H2O, consists of twin parallel stacks of square-planar [AuBr4−] polyhedra ordered along the a axis. The stacks are interleaved such that one Br atom of the AuBr4− square planes of one twin stack lies directly above or behind the Au atom from the neighboring stack, creating a pseudo-Jahn–Teller-like distorted octahedral coordination environment around the AuIII ions. The twin stacks are separated by parallel stacks of p-phenylenediammonium cations, and the structure is presumably held together by coulombic forces between the interdigitated negatively and positively charged one-dimensional stacks. The water molecule, the tetrabromoaurate anion and the bromide anion all lie on mirror planes.
