Abstract
Ligand scrambling reactions in some cyano(selenone)gold(I) complexes, [>C=Se-Au-CN] to form [(>C=Se)2Au]+ and [Au(CN)2]- species have been studied in DMSO using 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy. As a result of the scrambling reaction, two sharp resonances are observed both for the carbon and nitrogen of CN- in 13C and 15N NMR, respectively, corresponding to the two equilibrium components, [>C=Se-Au-CN] and [Au(CN)2]-. Equilibrium constants (Keq) were determined for the scrambling equilibria by integrating the CN- resonances in the 13C NMR recorded at 298 K.
