The reaction of (6-Ph2P-Ace-5-)2P(O)H with (tht)AuCl3proceeds via elimination oftetrahydrothiophene (tht) and HCl, providing the zwitterionic PPP-pincer complex (6-Ph2P-Ace-5-)2P(O)AuCl2(1) as yellow crystals. The molecular structure of1was established and studied by X-raycrystallography. The electronic structure was computationally analyzed using a comprehensiveset of real-space bonding indicators derived from electron and electron-pair densities, providinginsight into the relative contributions of covalent and non-covalent forces to the polar-covalent Au–Cl,Au–P, and P–O−bonds; the latter being one of the textbook cases for strongly polarized covalentinteractions. Partial spatial complementarity between both bonding aspects is suggested by theelectronic properties of the distinctively different Au–Cl bonds.
