Reactions of gold–phosphine cluster compounds. Preparation and X-ray structure determination of octakis(triphenylphosphine)octa-gold bis(hexafluorophosphate)

Abstract

[Au9L8]3+(L = PPh3) reacts with L to form [Au8L8]2+ and [AuL2]+; preliminary X-ray structural results are reported for [Au8L8][PF6]2.2CH2Cl2(1).
