Dichlorido(4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bi-pyridine-κN,N')gold(III) tetrachlorido-aurate(III) acetonitrile solvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [AuCl(2)(C(9)H(12)N)(2)][AuCl(4)]·C(2)H(3)N, there is a mirror plane passing through Au and the central C-C bond of the bipyridyl ligand in the cation, and through Au and two Cl atoms of the anion. A cis-AuCl(2)N(2) square-planar geometry for the cation and a square-planar AuCl(4) geometry for the anion result. The two C atoms and the N atom of the acetonitrile mol-ecule all have m site symmetries. In the crystal structure, weak C-H⋯Cl inter-actions may help to establish the packing.
