Gold(I) sulfido complexes were synthesized and characterized, showing reversible transformation between decanuclear and pentanuclear complexes. The transformation could be monitored by NMR and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. One complex exhibited stable reversible transformation for over 10 successive cycles in solution. The reversible transformation behavior was found to depend on the bite distance of the ligands.
Decanuclear and pentanuclear gold(I) sulfido complexes of phenanthrene-and dibenzothiophene-based diphos-phine ligands were synthesized and characterized. Unprecedented stimuli-induced reversible transformation between decanuclear and pentanuclear gold(I) sulfido complexes was observed, which could be readily monitored by NMR and UV-vis absorption spectros-copy in solution. Remarkably, the decanuclear gold(I) sulfido complex (Au10-LPh) was found to show a highly reversible transformation process, which is stable for over 10 successive cycles in solution. The stimuli-induced reversible transformation behavior of the gold(I) sulfido complexes was found to depend on the P-P bite distance of the bidentate phosphine ligands.
