Abstract: | The title compound, tetracarbonyl‐1κ4C‐tris(triphenylphosphino)‐1κP,2κP,3κP‐triangulo‐chromiumdigold(Au—Au)(2 Cr—Au) tetrahydrofuran solvate, Au2Cr(C18H15P)3(CO)4]·C4H8O, is a stable isolobal analogue of the extremely labile (η2‐H2)CrLn–1] molecular hydrogen complex (n = 6; L is a neutral ligand, e.g. CO or PPh3), and features the shortest known separation 2.6937 (2) Å] between two Au atoms in a triangular heteronuclear metal‐cluster framework. |
