Chlorido{N-[2-(diphenyl­phosphan­yl)benzyl­idene]-2,6-diisopropyl­aniline-κP}gold(I) chloro­form 0.25-solvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [AuCl(C₃₁H₃₂NP)]·0.25CHCl₃, contains two independent complex mol­ecules and half a chloro­form solvent mol­ecule, which is disordered across an inversion center. The Au^I ions are each coordinated in a slightly distorted linear environment, with P—Au—Cl angles of 177.20 (4) and 178.54 (4)°.

Chlorido{[(E)-2-(diphenyl­phosphan­yl)benzyl­idene](furan-2-ylmeth­yl)amine-κP}gold(I)

In the title complex, [AuCl(C₂₄H₂₀NOP)], the ligand has N, P and O electron-donating atoms but the Au^I atom is coordinated only by the `soft' P atom and an additional Cl atom in an almost linear fashion. Important geometrical parameters include Au—P = 2.2321 (13) Å, Au—Cl = 2.2820 (13) Å and P—Au—Cl = 176.49 (5)°. The furan ring is disordered over two positions in a 0.51 (2):0.49 (2) ratio.
