Mixed Gold(I)−Gold(III) Complexes with Bridging Selenido Ligands. Theoretical Studies of the Gold(I)−Gold(III) Interactions
摘要:
The gold(I) compounds [Se(AuPPh3)(2)] and [Se{Au-2(mu -dppf)}] (dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) react with 1 and 2 equiv of [Au(C6F5)(3)OEt2] to give the mixed gold(I)-gold(III) derivatives [Se(AuPPh3)(2){Au(C6F5)(3)}(n)] and [Se{Au-2(mu -dppf)}{Au(C6F5)(3)}(n)] (n = 1, 2). The reaction of [Se(AuPPh3)(2)] with [Au(C6F5)(2)Cl](2) affords the complex [{Se(AuPPh3)}(2){mu -Au-(C6F5)(2)}(2)]. The crystal structures of [Se{Au-2(mu -dppf)} {Au(C6F5)(3)}] and [{Se(AuPPh3)}(2) {mu -Au(C6F5)(2)}(2)] have been characterized by X-ray diffraction studies. They show dissimilar Au(I). . . Au(III) distances, indicating the presence of weak interactions. Quasi-relativistic pseudopotential calculations on [Se(AuPH3)(2)(AuR3)], [Se(AuPH3)(AuR3)(2)](-) (R = -H, -CH3), and [{Se(AuPH3)}(2){Au(CH3)(2)}(2)] models have been performed at Hartree-Fock and second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory levels. There is a good agreement between experimental and theoretical geometries at the MP2 level.
