Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Caught between two geometries: The solid-state structure of [NEt4][AuCl2]-[AuCl3] (see picture) shows a geometry in AuCl3 that is representative of a Y-shaped transition state as a result of Jahn-Teller distortion. Calculations by others indicate that the observed orientation is an intermediate geometry between two T-shaped structures with C2ν symmetry. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH &. Co. KGaA.
