Secondary interactions in the crystal structure of the iminate amine gold(III) complex [Au(C9H19N4)]I2

Abstract

The acyclic iminate amine gold(III) complex iodide [Au(C9H19N4)]I2 (I) was obtained. The crystal structure of complex I is stabilized by weak secondary interactions N-H…I, C-H…Y (Y = I, Au, and π), and Au…I forming an infinite 2D network. Double stacks of cations along the axis x are united through zigzag chains of H-bonds and of secondary contacts. Structure I contains 3–14-membered cation-cation and cation-anion rings. The anions I(1)− and I(2)− act as bridges in structure I.
