Journal Article 2016 06 25 The heterobinuclear platinum(0)-gold(I) complex [(t-Bu3P)2PtAu(PPh3)] BF4, 5, was synthesized by the reaction of trinuclear cluster complex f[(PPh3)Au]3(- O)gBF4, 4, with one equiv of [(t-Bu3P)2Pt] at room temperature. The heterobinuclear complex 5 was characterized using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental microanalysis and was further identied by single crystal X-ray structure determination. Crystal structure of 5 shows a T-shaped geometry with an unsupported short distance Pt-Au dative bond. https://scientiairanica.sharif.edu/article_3878_1bc37c61bf39a7ae0a3a3c4bf32242d2.pdf
