Silver , mixed-metal trinuclear complexes

Cold(l) and Silver(l) Mixed-Metal Trinuclear Complexes 33... [Pg.33]

Based on the fact that pi-acids interact with the trinuclear gold] I) pi-bases, TR(carb) and TR(bzim), the trinuclear 3,5-diphenylpyrazolate silver(I) complex was reacted with each. Mixing [Au3(carb)3] or [Au3(bzim)3] with [Ag3(p,-3,5-Ph2pz)3] in CH2CI2 in stoichiometric ratios of 1 2 and 2 1 produced the mixed metal/mixed ligand complexes in the same gold-silver ratios. The crystalline products were not the expected acid-base adducts. It is suspected that the lability of the M-N bond (M=Au, Ag) in these complexes results in the subsequent cleavage of the cyclic complexes to produce the products statistically expected from the stoichiometry of materials used [74]. As a result of the lability of Au-N and Ag-N bonds, and the stability of... [Pg.33]

Au-C bonds, mixed metal gold-silver dimers of planar, trinuclear complexes are readily formed by mixing gold(I) carbeniates and gold(I) benzylimidazolates with silver(I) pyrazolates in stoichiometric ratios. The complexes retain the ligands associated with the metal atoms of the starting materials. [Pg.34]
