Usage

General Description

Gold bromide is a chemical compound consisting of gold and bromine. It is commonly used in thin film deposition and as a catalyst in organic synthesis. Gold bromide is known to be highly photosensitive and is used in the production of photosensitive materials such as photographic film and paper. It is also used in the production of gold nanoparticles and as a gold plating precursor. Additionally, gold bromide has been studied for its potential use in medical applications, such as in cancer treatment and imaging. However, it is important to handle this chemical with care as it is known to be toxic and may cause irritation upon contact with skin and eyes.

New Routes Towards Halogeno Complexes of Gold by Halide Exchange from . Crystal and Molecular Structure of Triphenylmethylium Tetrachloroaurate(III),

Anhydrous and AuI can be obtained by halide exchange from with RX (X = Br or I, R = H or alkyl).The addition of to CPh3Cl produces the ionic derivative whose crystal and molecular structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction.Crystal data: space group P21/c, a = 8.225(3), b = 14.671(6), c = 16.738(8) Angstroem, β = 97.85(2) deg and Z = 4.Other organic chlorides RCl (R = Pr, SiMe3 or But) react with with a partial reduction to the mixed-valence chloride .Addition of to anhydrous iron(III) chloride produced a mass-spectrometrically active mixed iron-gold species.

New entries to halo- and halo-carbonyl complexes of gold

Gold(I) halides have been obtained from Au2Cl6: a) with cyclohexene as halogen acceptor (AuCl); b) by halide exchange with i-Pr-Br, followed by treatment with cyclohexene at low temperature (AuBr); c) by halide exchange with i-Pr-I at room temperature (AuI).Carbonylation of AuBr in dichloromethane or treatment of Au2Br6 with CO and cyclohexene in 1,2-dibromoethane yielded AuBr(CO), characterized by IR and 13C NMR spectra in solution, the latter at low temperature
