- Sythesis and Molecular Structure of , and the Isolation of (1-) in Thionyl Chloride
-
A high-yield synthesis of by treatment of with the stoicheiometric amount of CO in COCl2 is described.The crystal and molecular structure of the tetranuclear compound has been solved by X-ray diffraction methods.It is triclinic, space group P1, with a = 7.015(4), b = 6.830(2), c = 6.684(4) Angstroem, α = 94.4(1), β = 107.5(1), γ = 88.4(1)deg, and Z = 1, and has been refined to R = 0.11 for 989 ' observed ' reflections.The structure consists of discrete molecules with square-planar gold(III) and almost linear gold(I) centres in a chair-like arrangement.The solid compound has a high reactivity towards CO.The platinum(IV) derivative (1-) has been isolated in SOCl2 from the reaction of(1-) with chlorine.
