title: Gold dithiolene complexes: easy access to 2-alkylthio-thiazoledithiolate complexes.
abstract: In the presence of MeI or EtI, N-tert-butyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione derivatives undergo a transformation to 2-alkylthio-thiazoledithiolate pro-ligands with elimination of the tert-butyl substituent. The corresponding Au(III) dithiolene complexes [Au(RS-tzdt)2](-) (R = Me, Et) oxidize readily to the neutral radical species, such as the semi-conducting [Au(EtS-tzdt)2]˙, which organizes into dimers in the solid state.
