Abstract

The reaction of CH,NO, (neat) with the dinuclear gold(II) ylide complex Au₂[(CH₂)₂PPh₂]₂(O₂CPh)₂ leads to the rupture of two C-H bonds and the formation of an A-frame species with a CHNO₂ bridge. The X-ray molecular structure and the 500-MHz solution ¹H NMR spectrum establish the formation of the species.
