Abstract
2,6-Dimethylphenyl isocyanide forms complexes with gold( I) chloride (complex 4) and gold(I) benzenethiolate (complex 5) but forms no stable complexes with gold alkanethiolates. A reaction of complex 5 with tetramethylthiuram disulfide yields gold(I) dimethyldithiocar-bamate. Stable gold(III) derivatives cannot be obtained in such a way. Shortened intermolecular Au...Au contacts in complexes 4 and 5 (X-ray diffraction) suggest the presence of “aurophilic” interactions in them.
