The first group 11 imido complexes have been synthesized by two routes. Treating ((LAu){sub 3}O)BF{sub 4} (1) with excess RNH{sub 2} gives ((LAu){sub 3}NR)BF{sub 4} (2) and H{sub 2}O (L = PPh{sub 3}, R = {sup t}Bu, Ph, p-FPh, p-BrPh, p-NO{sub 2}Ph). Alternatively, treating ((LAu){sub 3}O)BF{sub 4} with excess RNCO gives 2 and CO{sub 2}. A remarkable feature of the latter synthesis is the incorporation of {sup 17}O into remaining PhNCO when ((LAu){sub 3}{sup 17}O)BF{sub 4} is used. The crystal structure of crystals of 2(R = Ph) crystallized from CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} is reported. The structure consists of well-separated cations and anions and half-occupancy CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} of crystallization. The cationic portion shows three linear coordinate Au atoms with a {mu}{sub 3}-phenylimido nitrogen with a distorted tetrahedral geometry. 15 refs., 1 fig., 3 tabs.
