A. Pons et al., [CO2AU2(CO)(6)(MU-DPPM)(2)] - A 10-MEMBERED CYCLE COMPOUND INCLUDING A NOVEL CO2AU2 Z-SKEW FRAME GEOMETRY, Organometallics, 14(1), 1995, pp. 555-557
The substitution of two carbonyl groups by a dppm ligand in the comple
x [{(CO)(4)CoAu}(2)(dppm)] (1) cuses permutation in the metal skeleton
sequence, giving the novel complex [Co2Au2(CO)(6)(mu-dppm)(2)] (3) ch
aracterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of 3 are monoclinic, sp
ace group Cc with unit cell parameters of a = 18.834(1) Angstrom, b= 1
6.257(1) Angstrom, c= 20.366(2) Angstrom, beta = 112.350(3)degrees, Z=
4, and V=6235(11) Angstrom(3). A mechanism for the formation of 3 is s
uggested.
