a

Calculated using SambVca 2.1 web application with spherical radius = 3.5 Å and P–Au bond length = 2.28 Å.

b

Determined from the X-ray structures.

c

Estimated from the %Vbur parameters using eq 2 (ref (6a)).

d

Taken from ref (6a).

e

Taken from ref (5b).

f

Recalculated using SambVca 2.1 web application.

g

The hydrogen atom coordinates were not included in the original report (ref (26)); the cone angle value was calculated by locating the hydrogen atoms at the idealized positions.
