Synthesis of Group 1B sandwich cluster compounds with [Pt₃(µ-CO)₃(PPh₃)₃] and the structural characterisation of [M{Pt₃(µ-CO)₃(PPh₃)₃}₂]PF₆(M = Au or Cu) by single-crystal X-ray techniques

The first sandwich silver cluster of a trinuclear cyclic gold(I) complex

“…11 An addition strategy has not been reported at all for cyclic trimer gold(i) compounds. Here we describe the results of the reaction of [Au(m-N 3 ,C 2 -bzim)] 3 with Ag + to produce a novel 12…”

Gold–Heterometal Interactions and Bonds

“…Octahedral Au 2 Pt 3 (Pt 1Àx Ni x ) and Au 2 Pt 2 (Pt 2Ày Ni y ) cores, with substitutional Ni/Pt disorder (see Section 3.7.1) have also been described [491]. The AuPt 6 core consisting of a m 6 -Au atom sandwiched between two triangulo Pt 3 rings was found in [Au{Pt 3 (m-CO) 3 (PPh 3 ) 3 } 2 ] (PF 6 ) 402 [549] and [Au{Pt 3 (m-CO) 3 (PMe 3 ) 4 } 2 ]Cl 403 [550]. Some Au/Pt clusters with unique metallic frameworks have also been reported.…”

Heterometallic Copper (I) Compounds: Classification and Analysis of Crystallographic and Structural Data

“…The structure of a cationic sandwich complex [141] is shown in Figure 11. The cation has a crystallographically imposed 308 Brought to you by | provisional account Unauthenticated Download Date | 6/23/15 8:54 AM two-fold rotation axis which passes through the Cu atom and relates the two Pt 3 triangles.…”
