eng	Diiminoisoindole coinage metal complexes: Investigation of aurophilic interaction in structures of gold(III) complexes	Isoindole and its derivatives already found application in multiple fields of chemistry. Among others use as pharmaceuticals or resistant pigments can be mentioned. A group of unsymmetrically substituted diiminoisoindoles was prepared and the coordination abilities of these ligands were systematically investigated. A significant group of prepared compounds are coinage metal complexes. These dimeric complexes contain unusually short metallophilic interactions between metal atoms in solid structure as confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Their structure, properties and possible uses were investigated. Counterintuitively, unusually short metal-metal distances have also been reported in the case of gold(III) complexes. We can therefore assume that even in these complexes a weak aurophilic interaction can occur within the metallacycle. This phenomenon has already been described and discussed several times in the literature2, but not fully proven or understood. That is why aim of our work is further explore and explain this interaction based on experimental and computational research.
