Description

[PCl4][AuCl4], Mr=511.6, orthorhombic, Imma, a=15.734(5), b=12.433(4), c=11.646(3) A, V=2278 A3, Z=8, Dx=2.98 Mg m-3, λ(MoKα)=0.71069 A, μ(MoKα)=14.9 mm-1, F(000)=1840, T=293 K, R=0.045, wR=0.047 for 1325 unique observed reflections [F>4σ(F)]. The structure consists of isolated PCl4+ and AuCl4- ions with crystallographic symmetry 2 and mm2 respectively; there are two independent anions. The cations and anions form independent layers near x=0.25, 0.75 and 0,0.5, respectively. [PCl4][AuCl4] is isostructural with [PCl4][ICl4]. The independent bond lenghts are P-Cl 1.924(2), 1.930(2), Au-Cl 2.274(3), 2.273(3), 2.270(3), 2.277(5) and 2.293(4) A. (orig.)
