Chemical oxidation of dinuclear gold(I) thiolates of the formula LLAu2(SC6H4CH3)2 [LL= dppp, bis(dipheny1phosphine)propane and dppb, bis(dipheny1phosphine)butane] and dinuclear gold(I) thiolate complexes with bridging a propane dithiolate ligand of the formula LLAu2(SC3H6S) [LL = dppp and dppb] was carried out using the mild oxidizing agent, ferrocenium, [Cp2Fe]PF6). Spectroscopic studies and elemental analysis showed the formation of gold(I) clusters, disulfide, and ferrocene as products of this oxidation reaction. The clusters, [(dppp)AU2(SC6H4CH3)](PF6) and [(dppb)Au2(SC …
