A highly asymmetric Au III η 3 ‐allyl complex has been generated by treating Au(η 1 ‐allyl)Br(tpy) (tpy=2‐( p ‐tolyl)pyridine) with AgNTf 2 . The resulting η 3 ‐allyl complex has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. DFT calculations and variable temperature 1 H NMR suggest that the allyl ligand is highly fluxional.
