Abstract

Gold alkene complexes [Au(bipyR)(eta2-alkene)][PF6] (bipyR = 6-alkyl-2,2'-bipyridine) have been obtained by reaction of gold(III) oxo complexes [Au2(bipyR)2(mu-O)2][PF6]2 with alkenes. The crystal structure of the styrene adduct [Au(bipy(ip))(eta2-CH2=CHPh)][PF6] (bipy(ip) = 6-isopropyl-2,2'-bipyridine) has been solved by X-ray analysis.
