The crystal structure of Et3PAu(2-TU) shows that the gold atom is linearly coordinated by a P atom (2.248(2) angstrom) and a S atom (2.310(2) angstrom) derived from a 2-TU anion which functions as a thiolate ligand. Monoclinic crystals of the complex have space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 9.161(1), b = 11.233(1), c = 14.049(2) angstrom, beta = 95.39(1) degree; final R = 0.044 for 2181 reflections. The anti-arthritic activity of R3PAu(2-TU), R = Et and Ph, is reported. The attempted reaction between the bis chelated diphosphine complex [Au(dppe)2]Cl and the 2-TU anion yielded a complex of stoichiometry [Au(dppe)2][2-TU)(2-TUH)] in which there is no interaction between the nucleobase and the Au atom. The lattice comprises discrete tetrahedral cations and 2-TU anions; the latter being associated with the neutral 2-TUH molecule via a hydrogen bond. Crystals are triclinic, P1BAR, a = 15.407(2), b = 17.251(2), c = 11.526(2) angstrom, alpha = 109.50(1), beta = 97.81(1), gamma = 85.11(1)degree; final R = 0.046 for 6323 reflections. Related reactions employing silver phosphine salts and three nucleobases are also reported briefly. In no instances were mixed silver phosphine/nucleobase complexes obtained. In general, silver phosphine complexes remained intact after reaction with a nucleobase and, in all but one instance, when starting with an authentic silver nucleobase complex the phosphine ligand replaced the coordinated nucleobase yielding binary silver phosphine compounds.
