Synthesis and crystal structure of [Au2(N-Ts[9]aneNS2)Cl2]2 {N-Ts[9]aneNS2=7-(toluenesulfonyl)-7-aza-1,4-dithiacyclononane} incorporating Au···Au and π–π interactions
Abstract
Reaction of AuCl(tht) (tht=tetrahydrothiophene) with N-Ts[9]aneNS2 {N-Ts[9]aneNS2=7-(toluenesulfonyl)-7-aza- 1,4-dithiacyclononane} affords the tetranuclear Au(I) species [Au2(N-Ts[9]aneNS2)Cl2]2 which exhibits Au···Au and π–π interactions leading to an overall infinite chain structure.
