Chloro(tetrahydrothiophene)gold(I) a coordination complex of gold. Like the dimethyl sulfide analog, this compound is used as a convenient entry point to gold chemistry. The tetrahydrothiophene ligand is labile and is readily substituted with other stronger ligands.
[edit] Preparation
This compound is not commonly available commercially. It may be prepared by the reaction of tetrachloroauric acid with tetrahydrothiophene:[1]
- HAuCl4 + SC4H8 + H2O → AuCl(SC4H8) + OSC4H8 + 3 HCl
