title: Synthesis, structures and stability of amido gold(iii) complexes with 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine.
abstract: Three gold(iii) complexes with terminal amido ligands were prepared by the reaction of [Au(III)(trpy)(OH)](ClO4)2 and primary amines having electron-withdrawing groups such as 2-amino-4-chloropyrimidine, 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine, and 2-aminopyrimidine. Conversion of the amido ligands into the imido or amine ligands resulted in the decomposition of the complexes by intramolecular redox reaction or the release of amine ligands, respectively.
