Abstract

Bridging of AuI centers by bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane (dppm) along with the aurophilicity at sulfur result in the formation of the high-nuclearity complex cation [Au12(μ-dppm)6(μ3-S)4]4+ (schematic representation shown) from [Au2Cl2(dppm)] and H2S. This metalla-macrobicycle exhibits long-lived luminescence in the microsecond range.
