Molecular structure of dimethyl(2,4-pentanedionato)gold(III)
Abstract
A gas-phase electron diffraction study of dimethyl(2,4-pentanedionato)gold(III) indicates a square-planar structure with ra(Au–O)= 2.085(7), ra(Au–C)= 2.054(5)Å, angle OAuO 90.9(6)°, and CAuC 92.7(24)°, as well as the normal parameters of an acetylacetone ligand.
