Synthesis, characterization and anticancer activity of gold(I) complexes that contain tri-tert-butylphosphine and dialkyl dithiocarbamate ligands

Two new linear gold(I) complexes of formulas [Au{P(t-Bu)3}(S2CN(CH3)2)] (2), and [Au{P(t-Bu)3}(S2CN(C2H5)2)] (3) have been prepared. The structure of these complexes have been determined by single X-ray crystallography.
