ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Characterization of (Pt(CN)(AuCN)(AuPPh3)8)(NO3) and Pt(CO)(AuPPh3)6(AuCN)2. Crystal Structure of (Pt(CN)(AuCN)(AuPPh3)8)(NO3).
Abstract
The cationic title cluster (III) (space group P21/n, Z=4) can be prepared by an oxidative addition reaction with (Au(CN)2)- (II) as shown.
ChemInform Abstract
The cationic title cluster (III) (space group P21/n, Z=4) can be prepared by an oxidative addition reaction with (Au(CN)2)- (II) as shown. Its structure is determined by X-ray analysis. The CO ligand in (Pt(CO)(AuPPh3)8)2+ generated from (I) cannot be replaced with CN-, but in a slow process two PPh3 ligands are replaced producing the neutral title compound (VI). The products are characterized by NMR, FAB-MS, and IR data.
