Aurophilic interaction in gold(I) thiosaccharinates: Synthesis, characterization, crystal structures and DFT theoretical study

A comparative study of the coordination of saccharinate, thiosaccharinate and benzisothiozolinate ligands to cyclometalated [Pd(Me2NCH2C6H4-κN,C)(μ-Cl)]2: Molecular structures of [Pd(Me2NCH2C6H4-κN,C)(µ-X)]2 (X = sac, bit and tsac) and [Pd(Me2NCH2C6H4-κN,C)Cl(ampyH-κN)] (ampyH = 2-amino-3-methylpyridine)

“…The coordination chemistry of thiosaccharinate has also received recent attention [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], but that of benzisothiozolinate (bit) remains virtually unexplored [19][20]…”

Thiosaccharine disulfide: Synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic characterization and theoretical study

“…It was also obtained as a by-product of the synthesis of the Cu(I) thiosaccharinate and Au(I) thiosaccharinate (when the starting reactants were Cu(II) [9e] or Au(III) [10]). …”

“…Thiosaccharine is an electron-rich and poly-functional ligand with the ability to coordinate to metal centers in many different ways. Some ionic thiosaccharinates and metal thiosaccharinato complexes (with Cd(II), Hg(II), Tl(I), Pb(II), Bi(III) Ag(I), Pd(II), Cu(I) and Au(I)) have been systematically characterized to date [9,10], and only the biological activity of bismuth(III) thiosaccharinate complexes against helicobacter pylori has been recently reported [9s].…”
