Cyclometalated gold(iii) complexes for chemoselective cysteine modification via ligand controlled C–S bond-forming reductive elimination†
Abstract
Modular assembly of cyclometalated gold(III) complexes by choosing appropriate bidentate C,N-donor ligands and ancillary ligands for chemoselective cysteine modification of peptides and proteins via C–S bond-forming reductive elimination has been achieved.
