✦ Synopsis
The reactions of water-soluble phosphanes P(CH,OH), (1) and Ph2PCH20H (2) with NaAuC14 in aqueous or alcoholic media, produced the water/alcoholic-soluble Au' complexes [Au(P(CH,OH),),]+ (3) and [Au(Ph2PCH20H):J+ (4) in near quantitative yields. The X-ray structures of 3 and 4, reported in this paper, confirm the structures of these new generation of water-soluble transition metal complexes. All compounds were characterized by 'H-, 13C-, "P-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The structures of 3 and 4 were determined by X-ray crystallography.
