Mj. Irwin et al., TRIGOLD TRIACETYLIDES - POLYMERIZATION THROUGH GOLD-CENTER-DOT-CENTER-DOT-CENTER-DOT-GOLD BONDING OR BRIDGING LIGANDS, Chemical communications, (2), 1997, pp. 219-220
The new trigold(I) triacetylide [C6H3(C=CAu)(3)-1,3,5] reacts with mon
odentate ligands, L = isocyanide, phosphite or phosphine, to give [C6H
3(C=C AuL)(3)-1,3,5] complexes which form polymeric solids with interm
olecular Au Au bonding; it also reacts with bidentate ligands to give
covalently linked network polymers of the formula [{C6H3(C=C AU)(3)-1,
3,5}(2)(mu-L-L)(3)], L-L = diisocyanide or diphosphine.
