In this study, we describe the synthesis and chemical behavior as well as the structure and bonding of monomeric, alkyne-stabilized organogold(I) compounds, {[Ti](C⋮CR 1 )(C⋮CR 2 )}AuR 3 ([Ti] = (η 5 -C 5 H 4 SiMe 3 ) 2 Ti; R 1 , R 2 , R 3 = singly-bonded organic ligand) in which the gold atom possesses a trigonal-planar environment. ... Reaction of [Ti](C⋮CSiMe 3 ) 2 with LAuCl 3 and LAuCl. The bis(alkynyl) titanocene [Ti](C⋮CSiMe 3 ) 2 (1a) ([Ti] = (η 5 -C 5 H 4 ...
