A Highly Asymmetric Gold(III) η³ -Allyl Complex.

ABSTRACT: A highly asymmetric Au^III η³ -allyl complex has been generated by treating Au(η¹ -allyl)Br(tpy) (tpy=2-(p-tolyl)pyridine) with AgNTf₂ . The resulting η³ -allyl complex has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. DFT calculations and variable temperature ¹ H NMR suggest that the allyl ligand is highly fluxional.
