title: Photoluminescent properties and molecular structures of [NaphAu(PPh(3))] and [mu-Naph {Au(PPh(3))}(2)] ClO(4) (Naph = 2-naphthyl).
abstract: The complexes [NaphAu(PPh(3))], and [mu-Naph{Au(PPh(3))}(2)]ClO(4), having the Au-C (aromatic) bond have been synthesized and characterized. The unique structure of with two gold atoms bridged by a naphthyl group has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The intramolecular Au-Au separation in is 2.7731(4) A. Upon excitation at 266 nm, both complexes display intraligand phosphorescence at room temperature in solution and in solid state.
