Syntheses and properties of the gold(I) complexes with bulky thiolates [Au(SR)]6 and [Au(SR)(PPh3)] (R = C6H2Me3-2,4,6 or C6H2Pr supiinf3 -2,4,6), and the molecular structure of [Au(SC6H2Pr supiinf3 -2,4,6) (PPh3)]

Summary

[Au(SR)]6 (R = C6H2Me3-2,4,6 or C6H2Pr supiinf3 -2,4,6), prepared by treatment of chloroauric acid in water with thiodiglycol followed by reaction with the appropriate thiol (HSR) in CHCl3, can add PPh3 in CH2Cl2 to give [Au(SR)(PPh3)], which, alternatively, can be obtained from reaction of [AuCl(PPh3)] in THF with HSR in the presence of KOH-EtOH. The molecular structure of [Au(SC6H2Pr supiinf3 -2,4,6)(PPh3)] has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.
