Abstract

The gold(I) complexes AuCl(PR₃) (PR₃ = PPh ₃, PMePh₂, and PMe₂Ph) react with Ti(η-C₇H₈)₂ to form a variety of cationic gold cluster complexes; a single-crystal X-ray analysis of one of these, [Au₁₃-(PMe₂Ph)₁₀Cl₂](PF ₆)₃, has confirmed a centred icosahedral geometry for the cluster, in agreement with an earlier theoretical prediction.
