Resumen
Treatment of vinylidenebis(diphenylphosphine) with elemental sulfur under reflux led to vinylidenebis(diphenylphosphine) disulfide, (SPPh2)2C=CH2, in good yields. Its co-ordination to a gold(III) centre activates the carbon-carbon double bond. Thus, the chelate complex [Au(C6F5)2{(SPPh2) 2C=CH2}]ClO4 reacted rapidly with carbon- or oxygen-donor nucleophiles (Nu-), such as acac- (acetylacetonate), CN-, C5H5 - or OEt-, forming methanide-type derivatives [Au(C6F5)2{(SPPh2) 2CCH2Nu}]. These products can be considered as intermediates in Michael-type additions of HNu to the C=C bond, which in this particular case display high stabilities, allowing their isolation as solids. The crystal structure of the cyclopentadienyl derivative has been established by X-ray crystallography and displays a square-planar gold(III) centre with a cis disposition of the pentafluorophenyl groups and sulfur atoms of the chelating ligand, and sp2 hybridization of the endocyclic carbon atom with partial P-C double-bond character.
