Abstract
The FT-IR spectrum of Auranofin, the drug (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-be
ta-D-glucopyranosato-S) (triethylphosphine gold(I)), has been recorded and
assigned on the basis of its known crystal structure and by comparisons wit
h the characteristic vibrations of its constituent structural units. Vibrat
ions of the P-Au-S linkage could be identified. The electronic absorption s
pectrum of an aqueous solution of the drug was also measured and briefly di
scussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
