The Smallest “Aurophilic Species”
نویسنده
چکیده
The existence of the C2v symmetric closed-shell di[gold(I)]hydronium cation [Au2H] (1), is predicted. It is shown that 1 is the smallest possible molecular species containing aurophilic contacts. Equilibrium structural parameters, vibrational frequencies and formation energies of 1 from Au+ and AuH, have been calculated, employing a series of highly correlated but available standard relativistic ab initio methods up to CCSD(T) level of theory and all-electron basis sets of quadruple-ζ quality with double polarizations. Relativistic effects have been taken into account by employing pseudorelativistic electron core potentials (ECP) or a scalar relativistic treatment using a Douglas-Kroll-Heß Hamiltonian of 2nd, 3rd and 4th order (DKH2, DKH3, DKH4).

We report the synthesis of three gold(i) complexes [Au(H(2)-mmta)(2)]Cl·(3)H(2)O (1), Na(3)[Au(mmta)(2)]·6H(2)O (2) and Na(3)[Au(mmta)(2)]·10.5H(2)O (3) (H(2)-mmta = 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid) in which the Au(i) centre is incorporated either in cationic or anionic units of the [Au(SR)(2)](+/-) type depending on the protonation state of the ligand. All structures were characteriz...

متن کاملPhotoinduced single-crystal-to-single-crystal phase transition and photosalient effect of a gold(i) isocyanide complex with shortening of intermolecular aurophilic bonds.
We report the first photoinduced single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) phase transition of a gold complex that involves the shortening of intermolecular aurophilic bonds. This is also the first solid state photochromism of a gold complex. Upon UV irradiation, the blue-emitting crystals of the gold(i) isocyanide complex 1 (1B) transform into the weakly yellow-emitting polymorph 1Y. X-ray diffr...
