Tri‐ and Hexanuclear Gold(I) Systems Based on Tribenzotriquinacene

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A tridentate trimethylstannyl substituted alkyne based on the tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) scaffold has been transformed into several gold(I)phosphane complexes by tin‐gold exchange. While the molecular structures of the gold(I) derivatives with less bulky trimethyl and dimethylphenylphosphane ligands exhibit intermolecular aurophilic interactions, the sterically demanding triphenylphosphane ligands inhibit the occurrence of Au⋅⋅⋅Au contacts. In addition, a hexanuclear gold(I) system was synthesised by terminal functionalisation of the hexaalkynyl TBTQ. Investigations of the photophysical properties of the gold(I)phosphane TBTQ compounds revealed their luminescent character at room temperature.
