Several cyanogold complexes react with the binuclear nickel complex [{Ni(dien)(H2O)}(2)(mu-ox)](PF6)(2).2H(2)O to give the compounds [{Ni(dien)(H2O)}(2)(mu-ox)]Br-2 (1), [{Ni(dien)(Au(CN)(2))}(2)(mu-ox)] (2), and [{Ni(dien)}(2)(mu-ox){mu-Au(CN)(4)}](PF6) (3) (dien, diethilenetriamine; ox, oxalate). In the case of compounds 2 and 3, water displacement by the corresponding cyanogold complex takes place, whereas compound 1 is formed by a substitution of the anion. The crystal structures of compounds 1 and 2 present a 2D arrangement where the layers are connected by van der Waals forces (1) or N-H...NdropC hydrogen bonds (2), where each binuclear complex is hydrogen bonded to its neighbors, whereas compound 3 presents a novel structure where the tetracyanoaurate acts as a bridging ligand to give a polymeric compound. Magnetic studies of these compounds reveal an antiferromagnetic behavior. Finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on isolated models of compounds 2 and 3 in order to gain some insight about the different behavior of the [Au(CN)(2)](-) and [Au(CN)(4)](-) groups as ligands and proton acceptors in hydrogen bonds.
