title: Bis[dichlorido(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bi-pyridine-κN,N')gold(III)] tetra-chlorido-aurate(III) dichloridooaurate(I).
abstract: The title compound, [Au(III)Cl(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))](2)[Au(III)Cl(4)][Au(I)Cl(2)], contains three distinct types of Au atom. In the cation, the Au(III) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar arrangement by an N,N'-bidentate 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two terminal Cl atoms. In the [AuCl(4)](-) anion, the centrosymmetric Au(III) atom has a square-planar coordination. The centrosymmetric [AuCl(2)](-) anion is linear. Intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds help to establish the conformation and packing.
