Abstract
The 1:1 complex [Au(CN)(CH2PPh3)] has been obtained from the reaction between triphenylphosphoniomethanide and gold(I) cyanide. This undergoes oxidative-addition reactions with halogens X2 to give the gold(III) complexes trans-[AuX2(CN)(CH2PPh3)]. The complexes have been characterized by conductivity measurements, n.m.r., and vibrational spectroscopy, and contain a stable bond between the ylidic carbon and the gold atom.
