TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the complex (C6F5)ClAu(dppa)AuCl(C6Fs5) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: space group C2/c, a= 18.009(3), b= 17.033(2), c=18.420(3)
Abstract: Addition of bis(diphenylphosphino)amine (dppa) to neutral or cationic gold(I) and gold(III) complexes containing weakly co-ordinating neutral ligands leads to the formation of complexes of the following types: [RAu(dppa)AuR], [Au2(dppa)2][ClO4]2, [AuR3(dppa)], and [AuR2Cl(dppa)](R = C6F6 or C6Cl5). Oxidative-addition of halogens X2(X = Cl or Br) to the gold(I) complexes leads to the gold(II) derivatives [RXAu(dppa)AuXR] and [XAu(dppa)2AuX][ClO4]2 which can be further arylated with Ag(C6F5) to give [R2Au(dppa)AuR2] and [RAu(dppa)AuR][ClO4]2. Mixed gold(III)–gold(I) derivatives can also be synthesized either by the spontaneous isomerization of the gold(II) complexes or from mononuclear gold(III) derivatives. The structure of the complex [(C6F5)ClAu(dppa)AuCl(C6F5)] has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: space group C2/c, a= 18.009(3), b= 17.033(2), c= 18.420(3)A, β= 103.79(2)°, Z= 4, and R= 0.035 for 4 000 unique observed reflections. The molecule possesses crystallographic two-fold symmetry, with Au–Au 2.576(2)A; this is the shortest reported Au–Au bond. The unit cell also contains eight di-isopropyl ether and four water molecules, which are well ordered and form a hydrogen bonding network with the amine N-H group.

Abstract: Deprotonation of bis(diphenylphosphino)amine or bis(diphenylphosphino)methane with [AuCl(CH2PR3)] leads to neutral complexes [X(Ph2PAuPPh2)2X](X = N or CH) that react further with [Au(C6F5)(tht)](tht = tetrahydrothiophene) or [Ag(OClO3)(PPh3)], giving neutral tetranuclear derivatives, ring systems in which the amido or methanido ligands are tridentate (confirmed by X-ray structures of two products).

TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal structure of [Au(dmp)(phen)(PPh3)][BF4]2·CH2Cl2 shows a distorted square-pyramidal co-ordination, with the basal plane containing Au and the donor atoms of dmp, PPh3, and one phen N atom; the other N atom occupies a more distant axial position.
Abstract: Complexes [Au(dmp)(phen)]X2[dmp = 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, X = BF4 or ClO4] react (i) with PR3(R = Ph or C6H4OMe-p)(1:1) to give the five-co-ordinated complexes [Au(dmp)(phen)(PR3)][BF4]2, (ii) with KCN (1:1) to give [Au(dmp)(CN)(phen)]BF4, and (iii) with KCN and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) to give [Au(dmp)(CN)(dppe)]ClO4, which in turn reacts with [AuCl(tht)](tht = tetrahydrothiophene) to form the gold(I)–gold(III) complex [Au(dmp)(CN)(dppe)AuCl]ClO4. Complexes [Au(dmp)(py)2]X2(py = pyridine) react with 8-hydroxyquinoline (NC9H6OH) or 2-aminothiophenol (H2NC6H4SH) to form [A[graphic omitted])]BF4 or [A[graphic omitted])]ClO4 respectively; the crystal structures of these latter complexes show square-planar co-ordination of the gold atom with the phenyl group of dmp trans to oxygen or nitrogen respectively. The crystal structure of [Au(dmp)(phen)(PPh3)][BF4]2·CH2Cl2 shows a distorted square-pyramidal co-ordination, with the basal plane containing Au and the donor atoms of dmp, PPh3, and one phen N atom; the other N atom occupies a more distant axial position [Au–N 2.151(12), 2.154(8), and 2.627(10)A].

TL;DR: In this article, a monodentate o-nitrophenyl group was shown to have a longer N-O bond length than the uncoordinated one, and showed no significant differences in the bond lengths Pt-C and N-C.
Abstract: Reaction of [Hg(o-C6H4NO2)2] with K2[PtCl4] or PtCl2(2 : 1) yields the complex [P[graphic omitted]}2]. It reacts (i) with monodentate ligands L (PPh3, AsPh3, or pyridine)(1 : 1) to give complexes of the type [[graphic omitted]}(o-C6H4NO2)L] or (ii) with monodentate L (PPh3, AsPh3, pyridine, or CO)(1 : 2) or bidentate ligands L2[cyclo-octa-1, 5-diene, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2, 2′-bipyridine, 1, 2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, or bis(diphenylphosphino)methane](1 : 1) to give complexes [Pt(o-C6H4NO2)2L2]. The crystal structure of [[graphic omitted]}(o-C6H4NO2)(PPh3)] shows both chelating and monodentate o-nitrophenyl groups. They show no significant differences in the bond lengths Pt–C [2.018(9) and 1.983(8)A, respectively] and N–C [1.446(11) and 1.468(12)A, respectively]. The co-ordinated oxygen atom has a longer N–O bond length [1.273(10)A] than the unco-ordinated one [1.221(10)], cf. those in the unco-ordinated o-nitrophenyl group [1.220(10) and 1.230(11)A].

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of [Au(C6F5)(Ph2PCHPPh2Me)] has been determined by X-ray diffraction [space group P, a= 8.888(2), b= 13.053(3), c= 14.230(4)A, α= 103.15(2)
Abstract: The precursors [AuRm(Ph2PCH2PPh2Me)]ClO4(Rm= one or three uninegative ligands) react with excess of NaH by deprotonation of the methylene group and simultaneous elimination of the ClO4 anion to give the neutral methanide complexes [AuRm(Ph2PCHPPh2Me)], which are potential C-donor ligands; these react with complexes of AuI, AuIII, or AgI to form di- or tri-nuclear derivatives of the types [RmAu{Ph2PCH(PPh2Me)}AuX](X = Cl or C6F5), [{(C6F5)AuPh2PCH(PPh2Me)}2M]X (M = Au or Ag; X = AuCl2 or ClO4), or [(C6F5)Au{Ph2PCH(PPh2Me)}Au(C6F5)3]. The structure of [Au(C6F5)(Ph2PCHPPh2Me)] has been determined by X-ray diffraction [space group P, a= 8.888(2), b= 13.053(3), c= 14.230(4)A, α= 103.15(2), β= 107.22(2), γ= 102.28(2)°, R= 0.026 for 4 806 reflections], as has that of [(C6F5)Au{Ph2P[graphic omitted]u(C6F5)][space group P21/n, a= 12.127(3), b= 22.758(6), c= 13.433(3)A, β= 98.97(2)°, R= 0.051 for 4 798 reflections]. In the methanide moieties the P–C bond lengths are much longer, and the P–C–P angles much smaller, in the latter compound, reflecting the reduced electron delocalisation in the P–C–P system when the methanide C functions as a donor ligand.

Their structures are discussed on the basis of 1H and 19F n.m.r. data. The crystal structure of the title complex has been solved by X-ray diffraction methods [space group P21/n, a= 14.380(4), b= 19.980(4), c= 15.976(4)A, β= 103.51(3)°, Z= 4, R′= 0.046 for 5 428 unique observed reflections]. The tetrametallic molecule is crown-shaped. The bond lengths at palladium reflect the strong trans influence of the imidoyl-C atom; the Pd–Cl bonds trans to C are amongst the longest known.

It contains two five-membered rings connected by a nitrogen atom. AsF₅ is coordinated to one of the ring nitrogen atoms [N(1)] adjacent to the sulfur atom S(1) and C(1)Cl-group. The other ring contains an S(2)-S(3) bond of length 207.7(4) pm. The rings are planar within experimental error. 2 crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with a = 782.12(6), b = 1498.1(5), c = 1217.8(2) pm, β = 102.43(1)°, Z = 4, V = 1.3934 nm³. 2 is formed by addition of one molecule of SCl₂ to two molecules of S(CN)₄.

Abstract: The complexes [WF5L] and [WF4L2](L = Ph3PN) have been prepared from WF6 and LSiMe3; they are crystalline solids with high kinetic stability. A crystal structure determination of [WF4L2][space group Fdd2, a= 33.832(8), b= 18.933(4), c= 9.926(2)A, Z= 8; R= 0.021] showed it to be the cis isomer with crystallographic 2 symmetry. The W–N bond length of 1.825 A suggests multiplebond character. There is appreciable deviation from linearity at nitrogen (W–N–P 157.2°).
