Abstract

[(L1)Au(μ-H)2MCp2][BF4] complexes (M = Mo and W) featuring cavity-shaped tris-2-(4,4′-di-tert-butylbi-phenylyl)phosphine (L1) have been isolated. The tungsten derivative showed a remarkably fast reactivity in photolytic hydride transfer to generate the mononuclear gold hydride (L1)AuH. Both bimetallic adducts trap Ag+ cations, forming unprecedented trimetallic assemblies with destabilized Au-M interactions.
