Primary amines, RNH"2 react with (p-tolyl isocyanide)chlorogold(I), to give two-coordinate [(ArNH)(RNH)C]AuCl or four-coordinate [(ArNH)(RNH)C]"2(RNH"2)"2Au"2Cl"2 carbene complexes. Geometrical isomers are identified in solutions of the former type, by NMR spectroscopy. Both types of product react with bases to give insoluble [(ArN)(RNH)CAu]"x, species, related to the known trimers, [(ArN)(RO)CAu]"3. Ausführliche Beschreibung
