Heteronuclear complexes containing {Au2Rh}, {Au2Ir} and {AuIr} cores with a dithiolate ligand bridging the metal centres - X-ray structures of [Au2Ir(μ-S2C6H4)(cod) (PPh3)2]BF4 and [AuIr(μ-S2C6H3CH3)(cod) (PPh3)]

The use of dinuclear gold derivatives [Au2(μ-S-S)(PR3)2] (S-S = benzenedithiolate, toluenedithiolate; PR3 = PPh3, PPh2Me) as S-donor ligands, with rhodium and iridium complexes [M(cod)2]BF4 (M = Rh, Ir; cod = cyclooctadiene) affords new heteronuclear compounds containing the {Au2M} core, with the general formulation [Au2M(μ-S-S)-(cod)(PR3)2]BF4. One of these decomposes upon heating to give [AuIr(μ-S2C6H4CH3)(cod) (PPh3)]. The crystal structure of the former and [Au2Ir(μ-S2C6H4)(cod) (PPh3)2]BF4 have been established by X-ray diffraction, The sulfur atoms from the dithiolene ligands bridge two different metal centres.
