Chlorobis(N,N'-di-2-pyridyl ketone oximato)gold(III) Hydrate

Structural analysis of [AuCl(C₁₁H₈N₃O)₂].H₂O revealed the Au atom to be in a square-pyramidal coordination environment with the Au(C₁₁H₈N₃O)₂Cl moieties linked by hydrogen bonds to water molecules to form centrosymmetric dimers. The Au atom achieves a coordination number of five with four N atoms nearly coplanar and the fifth position occupied by a Cl atom.
