The reaction of RAuL (R=2,4,6-C6F3H2, 3,6-C6F2H3, 4-C6FH4 or 3-CF3C6H4; L=PPh3 or AsPh3) or RAudpeAuR^* with inorganic acids HA (A=ClO4, BF4 or PF6) leads to binuclear complexes of the types 2>A or BF4.Similarly, reaction of NBu4 with HPF6 yields the tetranuclear complex Au4(2,4,6-C6F3H2)4.Addition of RAuL to solutions obtained by treating ClAuL with AgA also gives compounds of the type 2>A.
