Tv. Baukova et al., COMPOUNDS OF HYPERCOORDINATED GOLD(I) .2. SYNTHESIS AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF 2,2'-BIS(TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINEGOLD)DIPHENYLMETHANE, Russian chemical bulletin, 43(6), 1994, pp. 1063-1068
A binuclear organic derivative of gold(I) with diphenylmethane CH2(C6H
4)(2)(AuPPh(3))(2) has been prepared by the reaction of 2,2'-dilithium
diphenylmethane with ClAuPPh(3). X-ray analysis of this compound revea
led a transoid conformation of the molecule with agostic bonds between
the gold atoms and methylene hydrogens. The complex was characterized
by IR,H-1 and P-31 NMR, and mass spectral data.
