Bis[bis(4-methylthiazolin-2-ylidene)gold(I)] Tetrachlorozincate Dichloromethane

The Au centres in the crystal structure of [Au(C₄H₅NS)₂]₂[ZnCl₄]_0.5.0.5CH₂Cl₂ approach linear coordination [C-Au-C bond angle 179 (1)°]. Monomeric cations connecting through Au...Au interactions [3.330 (2) Å] form dimeric units that link through hydrogen bonds to the tetrachlorozincate anions. Dichloromethane is present as non-bonded and disordered solvent of crystallization.
