A. Bauer et al., THE GOLD-GERMANIUM BOND IN COORDINATION-COMPOUNDS OF THE TYPE (PH(3)P)(N)AUGECL3 WITH N=1,2 OR 3, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (17), 1995, pp. 2919-2920
The first co-ordination compounds with gold-germanium bonds of the gen
eral formula (Ph(3)P)(n)AuGeCl3 (n = 1-3) have been synthesized in hig
h yields by the insertion of GeCl2 (from its 1,4-dioxane complex) into
the corresponding AuCl complexes, and structurally characterized.
