Popis: Two new molecular boxes, the mono-bromo box [Au6 (Triphos)4 Br](SbF6 )5 ⋅6(CH2 Cl2 ), 4 mB, and the dibromo box, [Au6 (Triphos)4 Br2 ⋅H2 O](SbF6 )4 ⋅4(CH2 Cl2 ), 5 dB, have been prepared in crystalline form. Although constructed from non-luminescent components, both are strongly luminescent. Like its chloro counterpart, the mono-bromo box [Au6 (Triphos)4 Br](SbF6 )5 ⋅6(CH2 Cl2 ), 4 mB, is mechanochromic. Under grinding, it loses its luminescence. The bromo-bridged helicate, [(μ-Br){Au3 (Triphos)2 }2 ](CF3 SO3 )5 ⋅2(CH2 Cl2 ), 3μ-H, with a cation that is isomeric with the box [Au6 (Triphos)4 Br]5+ , has also been prepared and crystallographically characterized. Unlike its chloro analogue, [(μ-Br){Au3 (Triphos)2 }2 ](CF3 SO3 )5 ⋅2(CH2 Cl2 ) is not luminescent. Thus, the cation produced upon grinding may be the cation present in the bromo-bridged helicate, [(μ-Br){Au3 (Triphos)2 }2 ](CF3 SO3 )5 ⋅2(CH2 Cl2 ), 3μ-H. The dibromo box, [Au6 (Triphos)4 Br2 ⋅H2 O](SbF6 )4 ⋅4(CH2 Cl2 ), 5 dB, is not significantly mechanochromic.
