Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbene Gold(I) complexes: A Synthetic and Structural Investigation.
A series of mono- and dicarbene gold(I) complexes of types Au(CAAC)(Cl) [CAAC = cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene] (1) and [Au(CAAC)(2)](+)[X](-) (X = Cl, AuCl(2)) (2) have been prepared through reaction of AuCl(SMe(2)) with free carbenes a-e, and structurally characterized by single X-ray diffraction studies (1a, 1b, 2d, 2e). In addition two new free cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (c and e) have been synthesized.
