Abstract

Abstract Experimentally convenient syntheses of a series of gold (I) acetylide complexes containing tertiary phosphines include reactions between AuCl (PR 3)[R 3= Me 3, Ph 3, Ph (OMe) 2] and alk-1-ynes, either in diethylamine in the presence of copper (I) halides, or with methanol/sodium methoxide. Yields are good to excellent; several compounds are light- sensitive, and react violently with chlorinated solvents. The crystal structure of Au (C 2 C 6 ...
