μ-Sulfido-bis{[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene-κ2P,P′]gold} methanol monosolvate

摘要

The gold complex in title compound, [Au 2 Fe(C 17 H 14 P) 2 S]·CH 3 OH, (I)·CH 3 OH, is closely similar to the previously reported (I)·2CHCl 3 , reported in the literature [Canales et al. (1996 ). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 118 , 4839–4845]. Both crystallize in the monoclinic crystal systems but the space groups differ, P 2 1 / n for (I)·CH 3 OH compared to P 2/ n for (I)·2CHCl 3 . The two structures can be considered as polymorphs due to solvation differences. In (I)·CH 3 OH, all atoms of the methanol solvent mol-ecule are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.822?(12):0.178?(12). The crystal structure features O—H?S, C—H?S hydrogen bonds and C—H? π inter-actions that stack the complex mol-ecules along the a- axis direction.
