The salts K[AuCl2(CN)2]·H2O (1), K[AuBr2(CN)2]·2H2O (2) and K[AuI 2(CN)2]·H2O (3) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes as a network of square planar [AuCl2(CN)2]- anions separated by K + cations. However, 2 and 3 feature 2-D sheets built by the aggregation of [AuX2(CN)2]- anions via weak, intermolecular X...X interactions. The mixed anion double salts K 3[Au(CN)2]2[AuBr2(CN) 2]·H2O (4) and K5[Au(CN) 2]4[AuI2(CN)2]·2H 2O (5) were also synthesized by cocrystallization of K[Au(CN) 2] and the respective K[AuX2(CN)2] salts. Similarly to 2 and 3, the [Au(CN)2]- and [AuX 2(CN)2]- anions form 2-D sheets via weak, intermolecular Aui...X and Aui...Aui interactions. In the case of 5, a rare unsupported Aui...Au iii interaction of 3.5796(5) A is also seen between the two anionic units. Despite the presence of Au(i) aurophilic interactions of 3.24-3.45 A, neither 4 nor 5 exhibit any detectable emission at room temperature, suggesting that the presence of Aui...X or Au i...Auiii interactions may affect the emissive properties.

Coordination chemistry of gold(I) with cyanide and 1-methylpyridine-2-thione. Kinetics and thermodynamics of ligand exchange at gold(I) in aqueous solution
Dickson, Peter N.,Wehrli, Alex,Geier, Gerhard
, p. 2921 - 2925 (2008/10/08)
The equilibrium constants for the stepwise cyanide substitution at Au(CN)2- by 1-methylpyridine-2-thione (mpt) were determined in acidic solution by UV spectroscopy. The kinetics of the forward and reverse reaction of Au(CN)2- with mpt were studied by means of the stopped-flow method. Surprisingly, the rate constant in the exergonic direction is significantly below the diffusion-controlled limit. This reveals a lower reactivity of the Au(I) center compared with the metal center of similar Hg(II) and Ag(I) complexes. The reactivity of CN- toward Au(CN)(mpt) is at least 7 orders of magnitude greater than that of HCN. This is indicative of an associative mechanism.
