DISSOLUTION OF METALLIC GOLD IN DMSO-RX SYSTEMS. THE CONCEPT OF A DONOR-ACCEPTOR ELECTRON TRANSFER SYSTEM

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00863050

The complexing of gold during dissolution of gold powder in donor-acceptor organic and aqueous-organic Au⁰-DMSO-RX systems (where R = H or Bu, and X = Cl or Br) was studied.Ten complexes were produced, and their compositions and IR spectra in the 4000-200 cm^-1 range were determined.The data obtained were interpreted in terms of the concept of donor-acceptor electron transfer systems. Keywords: metal, gold, dissolution, organic media, DMSO, RX, gold complexes, production, donor-acceptor electron tranfer (DAET) systems, concept.
