Abstract

The preparation and characterization of 1∶ 2 gold to thiomalate complexes, as ammonium salts, has been described. The crystal structures of both racemic and optically pure samples are described and compared. In each case, the gold atom is linearly co-ordinated to two ligand sulfur atoms. Bond lengths and angles are normal.
