The reactivity of diaurated species toward nucleophiles was investigated. The reaction yields vinyl gold species and is described as simple SN2 ligand exchange at gold. Using suitably strong nucleophiles, equilibrium constants were determined to measure the stability of various diaurated species. On the basis of these equilibrium constants the influence of ligand and the nature of vinyl cores on the stability were analyzed. These results have direct implication for gold catalysis: it was demonstrated that vinyl gold intermediates bind the catalytic LAu+ species generally stronger than an alkyne (the substrate) by a factor of 106-109. This demonstrates that the formation of diaurated species from vinyl gold intermediates is thermodynamically favored in a catalytic reaction.

Coordination chemistry of gold catalysts bearing eight different ligands [L=PPh3, JohnPhos (L2), Xphos (L3), DTBP, IMes, IPr, dppf, S-tolBINAP (L8)] has been studied by NMR spectroscopy in solution at room temperature. Cationic or neutral mononuclear complexes LAuX (L=L2, L3, IMes, IPr; X=charged or neutral ligand) underwent simple ligand exchange without giving any higher coordinate complexes. For L2AuX the following ligand strength series was determined: MeOHahex-3-yne -aMe 2S3CO2 -≈DMAP3-≈Cl -. Some heteroligand complexes DTBPAuX exist in solution in equilibrium with the corresponding symmetrical species. Binuclear complexes dppf(AuOTf)2 and S-tolBINAP(AuOTf)2 showed different behavior in exchange reactions with ligands depending on the ligand strength. Thus, PPh3 causes abstraction of one gold atom to give mononuclear complexes LLAuPPh3+ and (Ph3P) nAu+, but other N and S ligands give ordinary dicationic species LL(AuNu)22+. In reactions with different bases, LAu+ provided new oxonium ions whose chemistry was also studied: (DTBPAu)3O+, (L2Au)2OH+, (L2Au) 3O+, (L3Au)2OH+, and (IMesAu) 2OH+. Ultimately, formation of gold hydroxide LAuOH (L=L2, L3, IMes) was studied. Ligand- or base-assisted interconversions between (L2Au)2OH+, (L2Au)3O+, and L2AuOH are described. Reactions of dppf(AuOTf)2 and S-tolBINAP(AuOTf) 2 with bases provided more interesting oxonium ions, whose molecular composition was found to be [dppf(Au)2]3O2 2+, L8(Au)2OH+, and [L8(Au)2] 3O22+, but their exact structure was not established. Several reactions between different oxonium species were conducted to observe mixed heteroligand oxonium species. Reaction of L2AuNCMe+ with S2- was studied; several new complexes with sulfide are described. For many reversible reactions the corresponding equilibrium constants were determined. Copyright
