Materials Data on PAuClF3 by Materials Project
AuCl(PF3) crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four AuCl(PF3) clusters. Au1- is bonded in a linear geometry to one P5+ and one Cl1- atom. The Au–P bond length is 2.21 Å. The Au–Cl bond length is 2.30 Å. P5+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Au1- and three F1- atoms. There is one shorter (1.56 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–F bond length. Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Au1- atom. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom.
