The reaction of with leads to trinuclear complexes AuX> containing the tridentate ^- ligand.Displacement of tht with L=PPh3, pyridine, or 4-methylpyridine leads to the corresponding derivatives.The structure of has been determined by X-ray diffraction: space group P1 a= 11.664(5), b=14.790(6), c=18.344(6) Angstroem, α= 111.30(4), β=94.18(4), γ=107.64(4) deg, and Z=2; R=0.075 for 4627 reflections.
