Halogen photoreductive elimination from gold(III) centers

Monomeric complexes of the type Au III (PR 3 )X 3 and bimetallic complexes of the type Au 2 I,III [μCH 2 (R 2 P) 2 ]X 4 and Au 2 III,III [μ-CH 2 (R 2 P) 2 ]X 6 (R = Ph, Cy, X = Cl - , Br - ) undergo facile photoelimination of halogen. M-X bond activation and halogen elimination is achieved upon LMCT excitation of solutions of Au III complexes in the presence of olefin chemical traps. As opposed to the typical one-electron redox transformations of LMCT photochemistry, the LMCT photochemistry of the Au III centers allows for theunprecedented (i) two-electron photoelimination of X 2 from a monomeric center and (ii) four-electron photoelimination of X 2 from a bimetalllic center. The quantum yields for X 2 photoproduction, in general, are between 10percent and 20percent for all species, showing only minimal dependence on the identity of the ligands about gold, or the nuclearity of the complex. Efficient X 2 photoelimination is observed in the absence of a chemical trap, providing a rare example of authentic, trap-free halogen elimination from a transitionmetal center.
