Synthesis and molecular structure of biologically significant bis(1,3-dimesityl-4,5-naphthoquinoimidazol-2-ylidene)gold(I) complexes with chloride and dichloridoaurate counter-ions.

ABSTRACT: Diffraction-quality single crystals of two gold(I) complexes, namely bis(1,3-dimesityl-4,5-naphthoquinoimidazol-2-ylidene)gold(I) chloride benzene monosolvate, [Au(C₂₉H₂₆N₂O₂)₂]Cl·C₆H₆ or [(NQMes)₂Au]Cl·C₆H₆, 2, and bis(1,3-dimesityl-4,5-naphthoquinoimidazol-2-ylidene)gold(I) dichloridoaurate(I) dichloromethane disolvate, [Au(C₂₉H₂₆N₂O₂)₂][AuCl₂]·2CH₂Cl₂ or [(NQMes)₂Au][AuCl₂]·2CH₂Cl₂, 4, were isolated and studied with the aid of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 2 crystallizes in a monoclinic space group C2/c with eight molecules in
