Gold complexes [Ph₃PR]⁺[Au(CN)₂I₂-trans]^-, where R = Et (1), CH₂Ph (2), Ph (3), were synthesized by the reaction of potassium dicyanodiiodoaurate with tetraorganylphosphonium chlorides in acetonitrile and were structurally characterized. The phosphorus atoms in the cations are in a tetrahedral environment. In the centrosymmetric square [Au(CN)₂I₂]- anions of complexes 1-3, the Au-I distances have similar values (2.617(2), 2.623(2), and 2.611(2) Å, respectively); the largest bond length is observed in complex 2. The Au-C and C≡N bond lengths in complexes 1-3 are 1.993(5), 2.002(4), 2.003(19) Å and 1.130(6), 1.074(7), 1.12(2) Å, respectively. In the tetrahedral [Ph₃PR]⁺ cations (C-P-C angles, 105.5(10)-111.2(7)°), the P-C distances vary in the range of 1.797(4)-1.816(4) Å. The structural organization of the crystals of compounds 1-3 is due mainly to weak N⋯H-C hydrogen bonds (2.44-2.74 Å) between hydrogen atoms of the cations and nitrogen atoms of the anions.
