Abstract

In [AuBr(C₉H₁₂N₃P)], two C≡N groups of the tris(2-cyanoethyl)phosphine (CEP) ligand are positioned in the vicinity of square-planar coordination sites so as to shield the central Au^I atom in at least two directions. Although the disposition of two of the C≡N groups is indicative of Au⋯C≡N interactions, these groups do not participate in the metal coordination. The observed shielding of the metal atom is similar to that reported for one of the polymorphs of the monomeric complex [(CEP)AuCl].
