Abstract

Facile acetylide transfer reactions take place between gold(I) complexes Au(CCAr)(PPh3) (Ar = C6H5 or C6H4Me-4) and a variety of representative inorganic and organometallic complexes MXLn (M = metal, X = halide, Ln = supporting ligands) featuring metals from groups 8–11, to afford the corresponding metal–alkynyl complexes M(CCR)Ln in modest to good yield. Reaction products have been characterised by spectroscopic methods, and molecular structure determinations are reported for Fe(CCC6H4Me-4)(dppe)Cp, Ru(CCC6H4Me-4)(dppe)Cp*, Ru(CCC6F5)(η2-O2)(PPh3)Cp*, Ir(CCC6H4Me-4)(η2-O2)(CO)(PPh3)2, Ni(CCC6H4Me-4)(PPh3)Cp and trans-Pt(CCAr)2L2 (Ar = C6H5, L = PPh3; Ar = C6H4Me-4, L = PPh3, PMe3).
