Small-molecule activation at Au(): metallacycle construction from ethylene, water, and acetonitrile

Incorporation of the simple, readily available, building blocks ethylene, water and acetonitrile into Au(tpy)(OCOCF 3 ) 2 (tpy = 2-( p -tolyl)pyridine) in a one-step reaction leads to high yields of a new 6-membered ring gold( iii ) metallacycle complex. The metallacycle has been characterized spect...

Description
Summary:Incorporation of the simple, readily available, building blocks ethylene, water and acetonitrile into Au(tpy)(OCOCF 3 ) 2 (tpy = 2-( p -tolyl)pyridine) in a one-step reaction leads to high yields of a new 6-membered ring gold( iii ) metallacycle complex. The metallacycle has been characterized spectroscopically and crystallographically, and the mechanism of its formation has been investigated with the aid of DFT calculations. Incorporation of the simple, readily available, building blocks ethylene, water and acetonitrile into Au(tpy)(OCOCF 3 ) 2 (tpy = 2-( p -tolyl)pyridine) in a one-step reaction leads to high yields of a new 6-membered ring gold( iii ) metallacycle complex.
