ClAu(tht) and LiRRLi (RR=4,4'-C6F4-C6F4; tht=tetrahydrothiophen) react to give (HRR)Au(tht) and (tht)AuRRAu(tht), which with neutral or anionic ligands, undergo two types of reactions: (a) replacement of the tht and formation of the complexes (HRR)AuL, LAuRRAuL (L=PPh3, SbPh3 or phen), <(HRR)AuCl>^- or ^-; (b) migration of the organic groups, leading to complexes of the types (L=SbPh3, L₂=pdma), 2 or .
