Abstract
The reaction of {(Ph(3)P)AuO-3}(BF4-)-B-+ with Me(3)SiCHN(2) gives d initrogen and three crystalline products, two of which have been ident ified as {Ph(3)PCHAu(PPh(3))(2)}(BF4-)-B-+(1) and {HCAu(PPh(3))(4) }(BF4-)-B-+(2). In crystals of 2.4CH(2)Cl(2), the cation has a square pyramidal structure with an apical hydrogen atom at a central pentacoo rdinate carbon atom. The cations are associated to centrosymmetrical d imers with auriophilic contacts.
