Example 1
Sodium tetrachloroaurate(III) dihydrate, sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate monohydrate, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate, sodium dibenzyldithiocarbamate hydrate, 2,2′-bipyridine, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine and 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co. St. Louis, Mo. United States. All solvents including ethanol and dichloromethane were purchased from Merck Darmstadt, Germany, and used without further purification. All reactions were carried out under ambient conditions.
Elemental analyses of gold(III) compounds 1 to 9 were performed on Perkin Elmer Series 11 (CHNS/O) Analyzer 2400. The solid state FTIR spectra of free ligands and their corresponding gold(III) compounds were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer FTIR 180 spectrophotometer or NICOLET 6700 FTIR using potassium bromide (KBr) pellets over the range 4000-400 cm−1.
1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a LAMBDA 500 spectrophotometer operating at 500.01, 125.65 and 200.0 MHz, respectively, in a magnetic field of 11.74 T. The nucleus observed at 500 MHz. Tetramethylsilane (TMS) was used as an internal standard for 1H and 13C. The 13C NMR spectra were obtained with 1H broadband decoupling, and the spectral conditions were: 32 k data points, 0.967 s acquisition time, 1.00 s pulse delay, and 45° pulse angle.
