The new hybrid NHC gold(I) acetonitrile polyoxometalate complexes {[Au(IPr)(MeCN) ][H ] [SiW O ] (1), [Au(IPr)(MeCN) ][H ] [PMo O ] (2), [Au(IPr)(MeCN) ][H ] [P W O ] (3), [Au(IPr)(MeCN) ][H ] [PW O ] (4), [Au(IPr)(MeCN) ] [PMo O ] (5) and [Au(ItBu)(MeCN) ] [H ] [PMo O ] (6)} were readily synthesized in high yield and characterized by NMR and MS-ESI spectroscopy. In a preliminary catalytic study, their activity was assessed under heterogeneous conditions for the ene-yne rearrangement reaction and a cycloisomerization reaction. Additionally, their reactivity and recyclability were tested in the hydration of alkynes under homogeneous conditions.
