The Au atom in the C2-symmetric pincer-type title complex, [AuCl(C(19)H(23)N(5))], is in the +3 oxidation state. The ligand is composed of one pyridine unit and two n-butyl-substituted pyrazoles (pyrz). Both pyrazoles are deprotonated, thus forming a neutral compound. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Au(III)-bis-pyrazolate complex. According to the special geometry in the N,N',N'...
