Abstract The structure of the auration product of N-(5-methoxybenzene)-2,4,6-trinitroaniline is determined. The compound of composition C67H54Au3N4O8P3 (3) crystallizes in triclinic space group P with a = 13.8280(4), b = 14.7641(4), c = 17.4531(5) Å, α = 111.550(1), β = 102.779(1), γ = 103.040(1)∘, Z = 2. The compound represents a salt tris(triphenylphosphinegold) oxonium N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,4,6-trinitroanilinate, with a hexanuclear dimeric structure of the cation and a para-quinoid form of the anion that is responsible for the dark-red color of the compound. |
