Abstract

A series of decanuclear gold(I) μ₃-sulfido clusters with different diphosphinoamine ligands, [Au₁₀(μ-Ph₂PN(R)PPh₂)₄(μ₃-S)₄](PF₆)₂ (R = C₆H₄C₆H₅ (1), anthryl (2), and (CH₂)₃SCH₃ (3)), has been synthesized and characterized. The X-ray crystal analysis of complex 1 has revealed a propeller-like structure of the gold(I) μ₃-sulfido complexes with short Au(I)···Au(I) distances of 3.013–3.397 Å. The complexes have been found to show dual luminescence in the green and orange-red region. Their UV–vis absorption and emission properties have also been studied.
