Abstract

The cationic pseudo-square-planar complex tetrakis(1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole-2-thione-κS)gold(III) trichloride sesquihydrate, [Au(C₄H₆N₂S)₄]Cl₃·1.5H₂O, was isolated as dark-red crystals from the reaction of chloroauric acid trihydrate (HAuCl4·3H2O) with four equivalents of methimazole in methanol. The Au^III atoms reside at the corners of the unit cell on an inversion center and are bound by the S atoms of four methimazole ligands in a planar arrangement, with S-Au-S bond angles of approximately 90°.
