Summary:In the title mixed solvate, [Au2Fe(C17H14P)(2)Cl-2]center dot CHCl3 center dot 0.5CH(3)(CH2)(4)CH3, the hexane solvent molecule is disposed about an inversion centre. The Au atoms exist within nearly ideal linear coordination defined by P, Cl-donor sets, and when viewed down the P center dot center dot center dot P axis the Au atoms are gauche to each other. In the crystal structure, the chloroform solvent molecule is associated with the complex via a C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl contact, and the hexane solvent molecules occupy voids defined by the remaining components of the structure.
