Complexes of diphenyl-2-styrylphosphine (sp) with gold, first reported in 1971, have been reinvestigated. [AuX(sp)] can be oxidised with X2 for X = Cl or Br but not for X = I, The initial product, [AuX3(sp)]; undergoes a reversible rearrangement in which an Au-X bond adds across the styryl double bond to give [AuX2(sp-X)] (sp-X = 2-CH(CH2X)C6H4PPh2). The carbon-bound halide can be replaced by methoxy by reaction with methanol. [AuX2(sp-Y)] (X = Cl or Br; Y = Cl, Br or OMe) react with iodide to give eventual reduction to [Aul(sp)], confirming that nonchelated [AuX2(Y)(sp)] is unstable when X = I. Reduction reactions of this type complicate attempts to study halidesubstitution reactions of [AuX2(sp-Y)], but a variety of substituted products have been identified (e.g. those in which X = OAc CN, SCN, iSCH2CH2NH2 or iS2CNEt2). Monosubstitution has been achieved with PPh2R (R = Me or Ph). The crystal structure of [Au(SCH2CH2NH2)(sp-OMe)]PF6 has been determined; in it and all other substituted products the softer, incoming ligand is trans to phosphorus.
