Abstract
The synthesis of two organogold(I) complexes, [(Au(NCN))2(dppbp)] (6) and [(Au(Phebox))2(dppbp)] (9), and their application in subsequent transmetalating reactions are described. A trinuclear organogold(I) complex, [(AuCl)3(tdpppb)] (4) is also reported, which exhibits a surprisingly high solubility in dichloromethane. It was found that 6 and 9 can cleanly transfer the anionic NCN-([C6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,6]–)
