Resumen

Arylation of [AuCl(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) with [{Ag(mes)}4] (mes = mesityl) gives [{Au(mes)}5]. Both the silver and gold complex can be used for the syntheses of mono- or bi-nuclear cationic, neutral, or anionic mesitylgold complexes of the form Au(mes) L [L = PPh3, PPh2Me, P(OPh)3, or 1/2(Ph2PCH2PPh2), [{Au(PPh3)}2(μ-mes)]CIO4, Q[Au(mes)X] (Q = NEt4 or NBu4; X = C6F5 or Cl), or [N(PPh3)2][(mes)Au(CN)Au(mes)]. The structures of NEt4[Au (mes) Cl] and [N(PPh3)2][(mes)Au(CN)Au(mes)] have been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. The complex NEt4[Au(mes)Cl] crystallizes in space group P21/n with a = 8.526(1), b = 13.917(2), c = 16.457(2) Å, β = 101.14(1)°, and Z = 4; R 0.038 for 2 656 unique observed reflections. The Au-Cl bond is long and the Au-C bond short [2.328(2) and 2.018(7) Å respectively]. The complex [N(PPh3)2][(mes)Au(CN)Au(mes)] crystallizes in space group C2/c with a = 27.702(8), b = 12.318(4), c = 20.501(6) Å, β = 135.61(1)°, and Z = 4; R 0.037 for 3 576 unique observed reflections. The anion and the cation both have imposed crystallographic two-fold symmetry, and the bridging CN group must therefore be disordered. The Au-C(mesityl) bond length is 2.035(11) Å.
