Gold(I) complexes with amine ligands, II. Methylpyridine complexes of gold(I)

Gold(I) complexes of overall formula LAuCl (L = various methylpyridines) are non-conducting in acetone. X-ray structure analyses show that the solid state structure of the corresponding complex 1 (L = 2-picoline) is molecular; the 3-picoline derivative 2 is however ionic (L2Au)+(AuCl2)-. 3-Picoline forms a molecular complex LAuC6F5 (3) and also the ionic (L2Au)+(SbF6)- (4). Complexes 1, 2 and 4 display short Au?Au contacts, leading to chains of gold atoms; additionally, complexes 3 and 4 show weak Au?F contacts. The (3-picoline)-gold(III) complex trans-(L2AuCl2)+(SbF6)- (5) was obtained as a by-product; it too contains short Au?F contacts.
