摘要
Polynuclear gold complexes show diverse structures and bonding.An exploration into their transformation represents a challenging area of research.Herein,an unprecedented substituent-mediated transformation from pentagold(I)to octadecagold(I)complexes has been observed.These gold(I)-sulfido complexes with distinct structures have been fully characterized,and the transformation process has been monitored by NMR spectroscopy in solution state.
