Abstract
Reactions at pH 7 between gold(I) thiomalate and a variety of thiols with pKSH values ranging from 7.6 (thioglucose) to 10.2 (mercaptoacetate) have been studied by 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy. New species [Au(SR)n]1-n, where n appears to be less than 2, are formed and thiomalate is readily displaced, especially by thiols with low pKSH. The latter are in fast exchange with AuI on the n.m.r. time scale. Similar activation parameters have been derived for thiomalate, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, and mercaptoacetate exchange (ΔG‡ 63 kJ mol-1, ΔS‡ -145 J K-1 mol-1, EA 22 kJ mol-1) via a line-shape analysis of 13C n.m.r. spectra at different temperatures. Thiol exchange rates increase at high pH, but at low pH 1:1 polymers are more stable than [Au(SR)n]1-n species.

Bibliographical note
Funding Information:Thisparallels the pKa order, see Table 1. We note the use ofD-penicillamine to reverse toxicity due to gold drugs.The most strongly bound thiols are those with the lowestPKa values.Figure 6 shows the shifts of the 13C resonances of gold-bound thiomalate as a function of the concentration ofadded thiol. The pattern of shifts is similar in all cases:a small shift of the CH, resonance of thiomalate to lowWe thank the British Council (grant to A. A. I.) and theCentral Research Fund of the University of London (n.m.r.crystal fitter) for support, May and Baker Ltd. (Dagenham)for their gifts of Myocrisin, and Professor D. L.
