Abstract
The interaction of gold(III) complexes [Au(en)Cl2]Cl, [Au(en)2]Cl3, [Au(cis-DACH)Cl2]Cl, and [Au(cis-DACH)2]Cl3 (en = ethylenediamine, DACH = cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane) with biologically important thiols, such as glutathione (GSH), dl-penicillamine (PSH), mercaptoacetic acid (MAA), and N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)glycine (MPG), has been studied using 1H, 13C NMR, UV–vis spectroscopy and electrochemistry in aqueous solution. Kinetic data revealed that the reactivity of their substitution reaction followed the order: [Au(en)Cl2]+ > [Au(en)2]3+ > [Au(cis-DACH)Cl2]+ > [Au(cis-DACH)2]3+. The thiol reactivity increased with decreasing its size, viz. MAA ≫ MPG > PSH > GSH. Square wave stripping voltammetry displayed peaks for Au(III) and Au(I) at +0.875 V and +1.4 V respectively. The interaction of the complexes with thiols resulted in reduction of gold(III) to gold(I) and thiol ligands (RSH) were oxidized to disulfide (RSSR).
