Materials Data on H16AuC6S2N4ClO4 by Materials Project
AuC6H16(N2S)2ClO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four AuC6H16(N2S)2 clusters and four ClO4 clusters. In each AuC6H16(N2S)2 cluster, Au1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S2- atoms. Both Au–S bond lengths are 2.32 Å. There are three inequivalent C+1.33+ sites. In the first C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two N3- and one S2- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.34 Å. The C–S bond length is 1.74 Å. In the second C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one N3- and three H1+ atoms. The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the third C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one N3- and three H1+ atoms. The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and two longer (1.10 Å) C–H bond length. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two C+1.33+ and one H1+ atom. The N–H bond length is 1.02 Å. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two C+1.33+ and one H1+ atom. The N–H bond length is 1.02 Å. There are eight inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Au1+ and one C+1.33+ atom. In each ClO4 cluster, there are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.46 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.47 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms.
