Abstract

Treatment of (Me3Si)3P with a solution of six equivalents of a (triorganophosphine)gold(I) tetrafluoroborate LAu +BF4- (L = But3P, Pr i3P) in tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of an excess of KF, leads to high yields of the title compounds 1a, b as stable microcrystalline solids; the products, which contain interstitial six-coordinate phosphorus, have been characterized by a detailed NMR study and on the basis of elemental and mass spectrometric analysis.
