V. Muresan et al., CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CHEMISTRY OF THIOCOMPLEXES NEW COMPLEX-COMPOUNDSOF GOLD(III) WITH AROMATIC THIOAMIDES, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 67(12), 1993, pp. 2113-2119
New complex compounds of Au(III) with thioamides of the phenylthioacet
amide series and with thioamides of the dibenzofuran series are descri
bed. A correlation of elemental analysis, UV, visible, IR spectral ana
lysis and conductivity measurements, suggests that the compounds are o
f [AuL2]Cl3 type (L=phenylthioacetamide, o-tolylthioacetamide, 2,5-dim
ethylthioacetamide) and [AuLCl2]Cl type (L=diphenyltioacetamide, 3-thi
oacetylamino-dibenzofuran, 3-thiobenzoylamino-dibenzofuran and 3-thiof
uroylamino-dibenzofuran). The chemical bond implies the participation
of both a sulphur atom and a nitrogen of the ''thione'' group in coord
ination to the metal. Electronic spectra show a plane-square geometry
of the complexes.
