  1. We report the ability to trap the dimer Au2(μ-dppe)2I2 (dppe is 1,2- bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) with different separations between the three-coordinate gold ions in crystalline solvates. All of these solvates ((Au2(μ-dppe)2I2·4(CH2Cl2) (1), Au2(μ- dppe)2I2·2(CH2Cl2) (2), the polymorphs α-Au2(μ-dppe)2I2·2(HC(O)NMe2) (3) and β- Au2(μ-dppe)2I2·2(HC(O)NMe2) (4), and Au2(μ-dppe)2I2·4(CHCl3) (5)) along with polymeric {Au(μ-dppe)I}n·n(CHCl3) (6)) originated from the same reaction, only the solvent system used for crystallization differed. In the different solvates of Au2(μ-dppe)2I2, the Au···Au separation varied from 3.192(1) to 3.7866(3) Å. Computational studies undertaken to understand the flexible nature of these dimers indicated that the structural differences were primarily a result of crystal packing effects with aurophillic interactions having a minimal effect.
