P. Lange et al., FACILE PREPARATION AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF [BIS(DIPHENYLPHOSPHINO)AMINE]DIGOLD DICHLORIDE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 52(6), 1997, pp. 769-771
Treatment of bis(diphenylphosphino)amine (dppa) with (dimethylsulfide)
gold(I) chloride in the molar ratio 1:2 leads to the dinuclear complex
(dppa)Au2Cl2 in 95% yield. The compound was crystallized from diethyl
ether/dimethylformamide as the: 1:1 solvate with dmf, the crystal str
uc ture of which has been determined. The complex features an intramol
ecular Au-Au contact [3.121 (1) Angstrom] and an intermolecular hydrog
en bond NH--O=C.
