University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
This award in International Programs and the Inorganic, Bioinorganic, and Organometallic Chemistry Program supports collaborative research by Dr. Alice E. Bruce of the University of Maine and Dr. Dmitri Lemenovskii of Moscow State University (Russia). The goal of the project is to design gold complexes that will be useful in new materials, such as liquid crystals. Organogold compounds containing rod-shaped molecules will be synthesized and structurally characterized. Lattice effects in liquid and solid phases formed from the compounds will be studied. Both groups are experienced in the synthetic aspects of the research, but will take advantage of the University of …

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 …
