Abstract

Reaction of K[AuCl4] with dmb (1,8-di-isocyano-p-menthane) in boiling ethanol yielded Au2(dmb)(CN)2 with an intramolecular Au-Au separation of 3.536 Å excitation of Au 2(dmb)(CN)2 in fluid solution and in the solid state leads to photoluminescence (λmax. ∼468 nm, τ0 0.13 μs in degassed CH2Cl2).
