چکیده
Water-soluble gold(I) complexes [1-mesityl-3-(3-sodiumsulfonatopropyl)imidazol-2-ylidene] gold(I) Chloro (3) and [1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropyl-4-sodiumsulfonatophenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene] gold(I) Chloro (4) were prepared, in high yield, by carbene transmetallation from the appropriate NHC silver complex with chloro tetrahydrothiophene gold ([AuCl(tht)]). The antimicrobial properties of both gold(I) compounds and the respective ligands were assessed by agar diffusion assay and the broth macrodilution method against both Gram-positive and negative bacteria. MICs values (> 128 ug/ml) were superior to those displayed by the reference antibiotics penicillin G and streptomycin.

Gold(I) complexes of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands containing benzimidazole: synthesis and antimicrobial activity.
Gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were obtained in good yields from the corresponding silver complexes by treatment with [AuCl(PPh3)] following the commonly used silver carbene transfer route. The silver complexes were synthesized from the benzimidazolium halide salts by the in situ reactions with Ag2O in dichloromethane as a solvent at room temperature. All gold complexes have bee...

Axially chiral mono(NHC)-Pd(II) and mono(NHC)-Au(I) complexes with one side shaped 1,1'-biphenyl backbone have been prepared from chiral 6,6'-dimethoxybiphenyl-2,2'-diamine. The complexes were characterized by X-ray crystal structure diffraction. The Pd(II) complex showed good catalytic activities in the Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck-Mizoroki coupling reactions, and the (S)-Au(I) complexes also showe...
