Oxidative addition reactions of methyl substituted binuclear gold complexes studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

X-ray photoelectron spectra of homovalent binuclear gold complexes with oxidation states of +I, +II, +III as well as heterovalent gold(I)-gold(III) species were obtained. The binding energies for the gold 4f peaks increase as the gold oxidation state incr

Expect the unexpected. Isolation and characterisation of some unusual organometallic gold(I) complexes

The reaction of equimolar amounts of 2-Li-3-MeC6H3PPh2 and [AuBr(AsPh3)] gives a mixture of the cyclometallated digold(I) complex [Au2(μ-6-MeC6H3-2-PPh2) 2] and the 'half-cyclometallated' complex [(Ph3As)Au(μ-6-MeC6H3-2-PPh 2)AuBr] (1). This complex represents the first example of an intermediate of a cycloauration reaction that has been structurally characterised by X-ray diffraction. The reaction of [Au2(μ-6-MeC6H3-2-PPh2) 2] with mercuric chloride gives the unusual heteronuclear Hg(II)/Au(I) complex [ClHg(μ-6-MeC6H3-2-PPh2)AuCl] (2), arising from electrophilic cleavage of a gold-carbon σ-bond, and not the oxidative addition product.
