title: Structure of a new chloroauric acid.
abstract: The new tetrachloroaurate ethanol hydrate HAuCl4·0.65C2H5OH·1.35H2O was prepared from chloroauric acid trihydrate in ethanol. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P \bar 1 (No. 2). The [AuCl4](-) units in the structure have approximately square-planar symmetry, forming chains parallel to the crystallographic b-axis direction.
