Experimental and theoretical studies of the d8-d10 interaction between Pd(II) and Au(I): bis(chloro[(phenylthiomethyl)diphenylphosphine]gold(I))- dichloropalladium(II) and related systems.
The reaction between thioether phosphine gold(I) precursors such as [AuCl(Ph2PCH2SPh)], 1, or [Au(Ph2PCH2SPh)2]CF3SO3 and PdCl2(NCPh)2 affords the new compounds [(AuCl(Ph2PCH2SPh)2PdCl2], 2, and [AuPdCl2(Ph2PCH2SPh)2]CF3SO3, 3. The crystal structure of complex 2 has the sterically unhindered Pd(II) and Au(I) at a distance of 314 pm. Quasirelativistic pseudopotential calculations on [AuPdCl3(PH2CH2SH)(SH2)] models give short Au-Pd distances at the second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) level and long Au-Pd distances at Hartree-Fock (HF) level. A detailed analysis of the Au-Pd interaction shows dominant dispersion, some ionic contributions, and no net charge transfer between the metals.
