{mu-2-[1-(N,N-Dimethylamino)ethyl]ferrocene-1,1 '-diylbis(diphenylphosphine)-kappa P-2 : P '}-bis[chlorogold(I)]
The structure of the title compound, [ Au2Fe( C21H23NP)( C17H14P) Cl-2], displays the pseudo-linear [ P - Au - Cl = 175.4 ( 1) and 174.0 ( 1) degrees] two-coordinate geometry usually observed in gold( I) complexes. The Au - P bond distances are 2.237 ( 2) and 2.224 ( 2) angstrom and the Au - Cl distances are 2.271 ( 3) and 2.278 ( 2) angstrom. The bis( diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl ligand links the
