Synthesis, spectral characterization and antibacterial activity of O, O'-dialkyl and alkylene dithiophosphatogold (III)dichloride; crystal structure of [S2POCMe2CMe2O]AuCl2

摘要

O, O'-Dialkyl and alkylene dithiophosphatogold (III)dichloride complexes of the type [(RO)(2)PS2]AuCl2 and [S(2)POGO]AuCl2, where R = Et, nPr, iPr, iBu, Ph, cyclohexyl and cyclopentyl, where G = CMe2CMe2-, have been synthesized in 80-90% yields by reaction of the corresponding acid or sodium salts of the appropriate dithiophosphoric acids in 1:1 ratio with gold (III) chloride in dry dichloromethane at room temperature. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR and (H-1, C-l3, and P-31) NMR. The crystal structure of [S2POCMe2CMe2O]AuCl2, was determined. These new complexes have shown their growth inhibiting potential against various bacterial strains with moderate to good activity.
