Binuclear phosphanegold(i) complexes of a bipodal thiocarbamate dianion, (R3PAu)2L, R = Et (1), Ph (2) and Cy (3), where LH2 is {1,4-[MeOC(S)N(H)]2C6H4}, have been synthesised, and characterised spectroscopically (NMR and IR) and by X-ray crystallography. The gold atoms are linearly coordinated with...
