Abstract
Treatment of (CO) AuCl, CuCl or AgNO3 with 2-LiC(SiMe3)(2)-Py-6-CH2R gives the binuclear metal compounds [M-2(mu -2-C(SiMe3)(2)-6-CH2RPy)(2)] [R = H, M = Au (1), Cu (2) and Ag (3); R = Me3Si, M = Cu (4)]. The dimeric structur es of complexes 1, 2 and 4 have been established by single-crystal X-ray di ffraction studies. The complexes are centrosymmetric with each ligand bridg ing the two metal centres which are in close proximity to each other [M . . .M 2.690(2) Angstrom in 1, 2.436(1) Angstrom in 2 and 2.431(1) Angstrom in 4].
