In this research work, we studied theoretically the structural properties of (5H-tetrazol-1-yl)(triphenylphosphine)gold or [Au(tetz)(PPh3)] by density functional theory (DFT) method at LANL2DZ level. All calculations were performed at 298.15 K and 1 atmosphere. Firstly, the bond lengths, bond angles, dihedral angles and natural charge density on atoms of the compound were calculated. The depend...

Stable bis-cyclometallated gold(III) complexes were developed as efficient catalysts for organic transformation reactions by using two strategies: (1) construction of distorted square planar gold(III) complexes and (2) dual catalysis by gold(III) complexes and silver salts.

We report on a series of arene sulfonyl phthalimides which were prepared and used to modify polycrystalline gold and Au(111) gold surfaces. Three investigated compounds are the p-iodo-, the p-methoxy-, and the p-fluoro-benzenesulfonyl phthalimides. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies were used to characterize the modif...

Inorganic chemistry became a passion for me as a graduate student in the 1950s. It was exciting to be part of the renaissance of the discipline, and I am pleased to have contributed to its strength. Physical concepts applied to the understanding of the properties of transition metal compounds guided our work initially. In the 1970s, probably as a direct result of the world abandoning the gold s...

Au nanoparticle surface plasmon resonance-induced photocatalytic chemoselective oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds has been investigated. The heterosupramolecular system consisting of Au nanoparticle-loaded titanium(IV) dioxide and surfactant molecular assembly dramatically enhances the reaction. This system should evolve the photocatalyst to intelligent nanodevices.
