Abstract

Abstract One gold (I)-substituted styrylbenzene, six digold (I) distyrylbenzenes, one tetragold distyrylbenzene, and four digold distyrylnaphthalene complexes were synthesized using base-promoted auration, alkynylation, triazolate formation, and Horner–Wadsworth– Emmons reactions. The gold (I) fragments are either σ-bonded to the aromatic system, or they are attached through an alkynyl or triazolate spacer. Product formation was ...
