Ring-Closure Induced by Thiols and Blood Plasma

3 Ring-Closure Induced by Thiols and Blood Plasma 

In contrast to ClAu(dppe)AuCl, the bis-chelated complex [Au(dppe)2]Cl does not react significantly with thiols in aqueous solution . In addition, NMR studies have shown that the complex remains essentially intact in human plasma (Fig. 14). It was readily transferred from plasma to red blood cells but no NMR signal was observed
