Heterocyclic ligands, carboxamido substituted

A variety of gold(III) complexes of carboxamido substituted heterocyclic ligands are obtained by reaction of [AuCh] with the appropriate ligands, these include [Au (N,N )Cl2j (HN,N =picolinamide) (IS) [70], [Au(N,N, N")Cl]Cl [N,N H,N" = N-(8-quinolyl)pyridine-2-carboxamide (16), N-(8-quinolyl)glycine-2-carboxamide (17) or N-(8-quinolyl)-L-alanine-2-carboxamide (18)] [71] (Figure 2.11).
