packing arrangement. Centers of inversion between
the meandering strings of molecules are relating
the components by symmetry. The chiral confor-
mation adopted by the molecules in the crystal is
thus present in two enantiomeric forms, repeated
by the relation imposed by the screw axis (Fig. 5).
Compound 3: (NP3)(AuC1)3 (100 mg, 0.074 mmol)
is dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml) and a solution
of KI (370 mg, 2.22 mmol) in water (20 ml) is added.
After stirring this dichloromethane/water two-phase sys-
tem for 12 h the dichloromethane phase is dried with
MgSC>4 and filtered. After layering the dichloromethane
solution with pentane the crystallization of a colourless
needle-like product is observed. Yield 75 mg (62%), m.

Experimental Part
General: All experiments were carried out if neces-
sary under dry, purified N2. Solvents were dried, distilled
and kept under N2. Glassware was oven-dried and filled
with N2. NMR spectra: Jeol GX 270 and GX 400 spec-
trometers; tetramethylsilane and phosphoric acid as ref-
erence compounds for 'H, l3C and 31P NMR (6 values in
[ppm], J values in [Hz]). Mass spectra: Finnigan MAT 90

Specimens of suitable quality and size of com-
pounds 1, 2, and 3 were mounted in glass capil-
laries and used for measurements of precise cell
constants and intensity data collection on an Enraf
Nonius CAD4 diffractometer (Mo-ATQ radiation, A
= 0.71073 A). During data collection, three stan-
dard reflections were measured periodically as a

Compound 1: NP3 (0.5 g, 0.77 mmol) is dissolved
in dichloromethane (20 ml) and (Me2S)AuCl (0.68 g,
2.29 mmol) is added at r. t. with stirring. Stirring is
continued for 2 h. The product precipitated as a white
solid after addition of pentane. Recrystallization from
dichloromethane/pentane gave colourless crystals. Yield general check of crystal and instrument stability.

No significant changes were observed for com-
pounds 2 and 3, whereas the data of compound
1 were corrected for decay (-5.8 %). Lp correc-
tion was applied and intensity data were corrected
for absorption effects. The structures were solved
by direct methods (SHELXS-86) and completed
by full-matrix least-squares techniques against F2
(SHELXL-93). The thermal motion of all non-
hydrogen atoms was treated anisotropically. All hy-
drogen atoms were placed in idealized calculated
positions and allowed to ride on their correspond-
ing carbon atoms with isotropic (CH2 of compound
1) or fixed isotropic contributions (UjS0(fiX) = 1.5
x Ueq of the attached C atom), respectively. The
high residual electron densities observed for com-
pounds 1 and 2 probably correspond to traces of
CH2C12 in the crystals (as also indicated by ele-
