Isolation of a Cyclic Trinuclear Gold(I) Complex with Metalated Phosphorus Ylides: Synthesis and Structural Properties.

ABSTRACT: The first chiral and luminescent cyclic trinuclear gold(I) complex, [{AuCH(PPh₂Me)(Ph₂P)}₃]³⁺, has been isolated with metalated phosphorus ylides (PY). This complex was initially obtained through the reaction of either mononuclear [C₆F₅SAuCH(PPh₂Me)(Ph₂P)]OTf or dinuclear [C₆F₅S{AuCH(PPh₂Me)(Ph₂P)}₂](OTf)₂ thiolate-gold-phosphane complexes in the presence of NaH, followed by the abstraction of the thiopyridine moiety employing either AgOTf or [Cu(CH₃CN)₄]PF₆. Our quest for a more efficient synthesis route led to the development of a streamlined one-pot synthesis method, employing Ag(acac) as both a halogen
