Implication

Structural analysis reveals diverse aggregation patterns through gold-gold contacts in mononuclear isonitrile gold(I) complexes, highlighting ligand control over supramolecular assembly.

Key Points

Investigate how altering isonitrile and halide ligands modifies the molecular structure and solid-state supramolecular aggregation of mononuclear gold(I) complexes.
Synthesized (isonitrile)gold(I) chloride complexes via reactions of (dimethyl sulfide)gold(I) chloride with stoichiometric or excess amounts of target isonitriles.
Prepared corresponding bromide, iodide, and thiocyanate derivatives through metathesis reactions with potassium salts in a biphasic water/dichloromethane solvent system.
Determined solid-state molecular geometries and crystal packing arrangements using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.
Mononuclear gold(I) complexes assemble in the solid state via close intermolecular Au–Au contacts into distinct supramolecular motifs.
Steric and electronic ligand attributes govern the aggregation mode, generating discrete dimers, one-dimensional chains, or two-dimensional sheets depending on the specific isonitrile and halide combinations.
