posted on 2005-01-24, 00:00 authored by Hanan E. Abdou, Ahmed A. Mohamed, John P. FacklerThe structures of the trinuclear gold(I), [Au3(2,6-Me2-form)2-(THT)Cl], the dinuclear [Au2(2,6-Me2-form)2], and the oxidative-addition product [Au2(2,6-Me2-form)2Cl2] formamidinate complexes
are reported. The trinuclear complex is stable with gold−gold
distances 3.01 and 3.55 Å. The gold−gold distance in the dinuclear
complex decreases upon oxidative-addition with halogens from 2.7
to 2.5 Å, similar to observations made with the dithiolates and
ylides.
