Dinuclear complex of gold(III) with 1,3-diaminopropane (HL), [Au2(HL)(L)2](ClO4)3(OH): Synthesis and crystal and molecular structures

Abstract

The dinuclear gold(III) complex, [Au2(HL)(L)2](ClO4)3(OH) (I) (HL = 1,3-diaminopropane), with two amide bridges has been synthesized for the first time. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the crystal structure of complex I consists of the complex cations [Au2(HL)(L)2]4+ and anions ClO4− and OH−. The coordination sites AuN4 are insignificantly distorted squares. In the four-membered ring Au2N2, the gold atoms are bound by the bridging nitrogen atoms of the deprotonated primary amine.
