Dalton communications. Synthesis and structural characterization of an Au–P linked chain polymer. The molecular structure of two pseudo-polymorphic forms of [{AuCl(µ-dppf)}n][dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]
Abstract
A novel iron–gold 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) complex [{AuCl(µ-dppf)}n] contains a co-ordination polymer based on trigonal P2AuCl linkages and has been structurally characterized in both polar and apolar pseudo-polymorphic forms.
