Abstract

Linear complexes of cyanogold with cyclohexyldiphenylphosphine {cyano(cyclohexyldiphenylphosphine)-gold(I), [Au(CN)(C₁₈H₂₁P)]} and tri(m-tolyl)phosphine {cyano[tri(m-tolyl)phosphine]gold(I), [Au(CN)(C₂₁H₂₁-P)]} were synthesized and their crystal structures were compared with those of similar complexes. Irrespective of the differences in the anions (CN^- versus Cl^-) or in the steric and electronic requirements of the various phosphines, the Au - C and Au - P distances are similar in all the compared AuCN complexes. The CN^- ligand in each of the two complexes reported here is tilted with respect to the P - Au - C axis, with the Au - C - N angle deviating by about 7.0(1)° from linearity.
