Reaction of the thiosemicarbazone ligands 2-pyridineformamide thiosemicarbazone (HAm4DH) or 2-pyridineformamide 3-hexamethyleneiminylthiosemicarbazone (HAm4hexim) with the gold(I) compound [AuCl(tdg)] (tdg = thiodiglycol = 2,2'-thiodiethanol) gives the complexes [Au(H(2)Am4DH)(2)]Cl-3 center dot H2O (1) and [Au(HAm4hexim)(2)]Cl (2). The room temperature oxidation of solutions of 2 in water/methanol leads to the crystallization of a gold(III) complex of formula [Au(Am4hexim)Cl]Cl center dot 2H(2)O (3). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that in compounds 1 and 2 gold(I) is linearly coordinated to sulfur atoms from two monodentate thiosemicarbazone molecules. Packing architectures and hydrogen bonding networks obtained using graph set notations are discussed for all complexes. Weak agostic interactions exist in both 1 [(N-H)center dot center dot center dot Au; H center dot center dot center dot Au = 2.70 and 2.82 angstrom] and 2 [(C-H)center dot center dot center dot Au; H center dot center dot center dot Au = 2.79 angstrom], and gold gold contacts are present in the solid state in 1 (Au center dot center dot center dot Au = 3.83 angstrom) but not in 2 (Au center dot center dot center dot Au = 5.46 angstrom). The fluorescence of the ligands and complexes of gold(I) was studied. In addition, elemental analysis data and spectroscopic properties in the solid state and in solution are also described for complexes 1 and 2.
