Abstract

1-Methyl-2-(methylthiomethyl)-1H-benzimidazole (mmb) was reacted with Ph3PAuCl/AgPF6 in THF to yield (Ph3P)Au(mmb)(PF6) which was crystallog. characterized. The Au+ ion is almost linearly coordinated by the triphenylphosphine P and the imine N atom of a monodentate mmb ligand. There is no gold(I)-sulfur bonding as the distance of $\sim$3.02 \AA indicates. Similarly, close intermetallic contacts between the gold centers are absent. Both effects are attributed to the pos. charge on the metal. on SciFinder(R)
