metal-organic compounds
In [AuBr(C9H12N3P)], two CN 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 AuI atom in at least two directions. Although the disposition of two of the CN groups is indicative of AuCN 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].
