Dj. Leblanc et al., THIOMALATE COMPLEXES OF GOLD(I) - PREPARATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF 1 2 GOLD TO THIOMALATE COMPLEXES/, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (18), 1997, pp. 3263-3267
The preparation and characterization of I :2 gold to thiomalate comple
xes, as ammonium salts, has been described. The crystal structures of
both racemic and optically pure samples are described and compared. In
each case, the gold atom is linearly co-ordinated to two ligand sulfu
r atoms Bond lengths and angles are normal.
