Metal-based infinite chains and networks

In the presence of triphenylphosphine oxide, and also depending on the nature of the pentahalophenyl group employed, similar synthetic reactions afforded [AuTl(C6F5)2(Ph3P=0)2] and [AuTl(C6Cl5)2(Ph3P=0)2(THF)] with the 

Layer structure of [AuTl(C5F5)2(bipy)]n. The bridging 4,4 -bypyridine ligand is represented by a thick rod joining its two terminal N atoms.
