Aa. Isab, COMPLEXATION OF SELENO-CYSTEAMINE, SELENO-CYSTEINE AND SELENO-ETHANOIC ACID WITH GOLD(I) THIOMALATE, Transition metal chemistry, 19(6), 1994, pp. 595-598
Seleno-cysteamine, seleno-cysteine and seleno-ethanoic acid react with
aurothiomalate in aqueous solution to give [Au(selenoate)(2)](-) comp
lexes. The C-13-n.m.r. chemical shift differences between thiolates an
d their analogous selenoates complexes with gold(I), as [Au(thiolate)(
2)](-) and [Au(selenoate)(2)](-), are compared and the [Au(Se-cysteine
)(2)](-) complex was found to be the most stable.
