(Figure Presented) A Moebius arrangement of the bonds directly attached to a metallamacrocycle was observed for the AuI complex [Au 3(CNC)(μ-Ph2PCH2PPh2) 2]+, which was self-assembled by treating the lithium salt of pyridyl-2,6-diphenyl2- (CNC) with [Au2Cl 2(μ-Ph2PCH2PPh2)]. The trinuclear AuI complex has intramolecular Au...Au and C-C...π interactions, exhibits a remarkable stability in solution, and is cytotoxic toward cancer cell lines.
