Novel metallamacrocyclic gold(i) thiolate cluster complex: structure and luminescence of [Au9(μ-dppm)4(μ-p-tc)6](PF6)3
Abstract
The structure of a novel metallamacrocyclic phosphine gold(I) thiolate cluster, [Au9(μ-dppm)4(μ-p-tc)6](PF6)3, where dppm = bis(diphenylphosphine)methane and p-tc =
p-thiocresolate, is reported and shows Au⋯Au attractions of ∼3.0 Å and gold(I) atoms linked to thiolate and phosphine
