Complexes of (CH3)2AuIII: synthesis, PMR and IR spectra

subject

description

Abstract The syntheses and reactivity of dimethylgold(III) complexes with multidentate ligands as TRIPHOS (i.e., 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane) and TREN (i.e. 2,2′,2″-triaminotriethylamine) have been examined. I.r. spectra for the compounds in the solid state, conductivity and PMR data for solutions, lead to the assignment of an ionic formula [CH 3 ) 2 Au TRIPHOS] + [(CH 3 ) 2 AuCl 2 ] − where the gold(III) atoms are presumably four-coordinate. The complex (CH 3 ) 2 AuCl TREN in DMSO solution undergoes a reductive elimination reaction, as found for analogous dimethylgold(III) derivatives.
