Abstract

[O(AuPPh3)3]+BF4 has been found to be a powerful aurating reagent for phthalimide, to give (phthalimido)(triphenylphosphine)gold(I) (1) in high yield. Two different crystal systems, with or without CHC13 molecules in the unit cell, have been obtained. In both cases the monoaurated diacylamido complex C6H4(CO)2N(AuPPh3) (1) is present as a monomer with linear two-coordinate gold atoms. The N – Au(I) bond lengths (2.028(4), 2.040(4) Å) are similar to those found in other monoaurated complexes of the type R1R2N(AuPPh3) with strongly electron-withdrawing organic substituents R1, R2. Crystal data: 1, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 9.948(1), b = 15.712(1), c = 14.651(1) Å, β = 103.40(1)°, V = 2227.7 Å3, Z = 4; 1 · CHC13, orthorhombic, P212121, a = 8.889(1), b = 10.349(1), c = 29.198(2) Å, V = 2686.0 Å3, Z = 4.
