Bc. Tzeng et al., PHOTOLUMINESCENT 2-DIMENSIONAL GOLD(I) POLYMERS BEARING A MACROCYCLICTETRAAZA CAVITY, Chemical communications, (14), 1996, pp. 1681-1682
Several novel two-dimensional gold(I) polymers with the repeating (AuX
)(4)L [L = hosphinomethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, X=Cl, Br
, I] units held together by weak metal metal interactions are prepared
; the structure of [(AuCl)(4)L] characterized by X-ray crystal analysi
s shows the closest intermolecular gold(I)... gold(I) separation to be
3.104(1) Angstrom; these polymers show interesting multistate photolu
minescence in the solid state.
