Fig. 2. (a) Synthesis of ferrocene containing Au(i) carbene complexes. (b) ORTEP diagram of 6 rendered using POV-Ray. Thermal ellipsoid plots are drawn at the 50% probability level. Hydrogen atoms and counter anion are omitted for clarity. Selected bond lengths (Å) and angles (deg): C1–N1, 1.37(1); C1–N2, 1.35(2); C1–Au1, 2.021(9); C26–Au1, 2.028(8); C26–N3, 1.33(1); C26–N4, 1.35(1); N1–C1–N2, 105.2(8); N3–C26–N4, 105.1(7); C1–Au1–C26, 176.5(3).
