D. Clajus et al., BINUCLEAR DIORGANOPHOSPHINOTHIOFORMAMIDO COMPLEXES OF GOLD(I) - SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF [AU(PH2PC(S)NPH)](2) AND RELATED SYSTEMS, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 281(1), 1998, pp. 64-69
Binuclear gold compounds, [Au(R2PC(S)NR')](2), were characterized from
the reactions of HAuCl4 or Ph3PAuCl with R2PC(S)N(H)R', The complexes
feature bidentate bridging ligands that link two gold centres lending
to eight-membered metallacycles and linear S-Au-P coordination geomet
ries. In the case of [Au(Ph2PC(S)NPh)](2), crystal structure analysis
shows the presence of two conformations in the one lattice, i.e. an ex
tended chair and a twisted conformation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A
