TLDR
X-ray crystal structures of three modifications of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) gold(I) tetraphenylborate have been determined, one at −150 °C; none shows the expected simple tetrahedral geometry as discussed by the authors.Abstract:

TL;DR: The results of these in vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that the contrasting pharmacological profile of [Au(DPPE)2]Cl with respect to other gold(I) phosphine complexes may be related to both the kinetic stability of the complex and its stability in the presence of thiols.

X-ray structural investigations of gold compounds: A compilation of reference data. Supplement II
TL;DR: The archetypal coordination geometry of Auni was established in several early, and necessarily somewhat inaccurate, studies as discussed by the authors, and a large number of AuC14 salts have been studied.

Phosphines and metal phosphine complexes: Relationship of chemistry to anticancer and other biological activity
TL;DR: Data on cytotoxicity and anticancer activity, and chemistry of likely relevance to pharmacology is discussed: especially redox reactions (disulphide reduction, oxygen abstraction), radical reactions and metal binding.

Stability of the Gold(I)−Phosphine Bond. A Comparison with Other Group 11 Elements
TL;DR: Relativistic effects in gold significantly influence these factors and reduce the tendency for phosphine coordination beyond two-coordination, implying that the most favored coordination number for gold is two with either a linear P-Au-P or P- au-X arrangement.
