Abstract:The coordinating properties of the bis(1,4‐dimethyl‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐ylidene) ligand (abbreviated as bitz) towards silver(I) and gold(I) centres have been explored. The bitz behaves as bridging ligand giving both dinuclear [M2(bitz)2](PF6)2 and trinuclear [M3(bitz)3](PF6)3 species, whose formation has been supported by X‐ray diffraction analysis, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry evidences. The dinuclear and trinuclear gold(I) complexes present very similar luminescence properties, emitting in the blue reg… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
