Reactivity of Diamines in Acyclic Diamino Carbene Gold Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Acyclic diamino carbenes (ADCs) are interesting alternatives to their more widely studied N-heterocyclic carbene counterparts, particularly due to their greater synthetic accessibility and properties such as increased sigma donation and structural flexibility. ADC gold complexes are typically obtained through the reaction of equimolar amounts of primary/secondary amines on gold-coordinated isocyanide ligands. As such, the reaction of diamine nucleophiles to isocyanide gold complexes was expected to lead to bis-ADC gold compounds with potential applications in catalysis or as novel precursors for gold nanomaterials. However, the reaction of primary diamines with two equivalents of isocyanide gold chlorides resulted in only one of the amine groups reacting with the isocyanide carbon. The res
