Abstract
A range of new phosphine Au(I) oxo complexes, [(LAu)[sub 3]([mu]-O)][sup +], were prepared, testing the limits of the phosphine steric and electronic properties. Their reaction with reducing agents (hydrazines, CO and RNC) give a variety of new and known gold clusters in unprecedented high yields and establish the steric and electronic relationships between the phosphine and the nuclearity of the product Au cluster. The [L[sub 2]Pt([mu]-O)][sub 2] class of dioxo complexes has been expanded to include the first anionic oxo complex, ([(dppm-H)Pt([mu]-O)][sub 2])Li[sub 2] and the first Pt imido complexes, [(L[sub 2]Pt)[sub 2]([mu]-O)([mu]-NR)] and [L[sub 2]Pt([mu]-NR)][sub 2]. The previously observed Rh imido/amido A-frame chemistry has been extended to Ir. The p-MePh-imido complex has been characterized by X-ray diffraction and clearly shows the resonance delocalization of the nitrogen lone pair into the aryl ring which is responsible for the previously observed electrophilic ring addition and oxidative ring coupling reactions.
