Gold(iii)–arene complexes by insertion of olefins into gold–aryl bonds
The synthesis and characterization of the first gold(iii)–arene complexes are described. Well-defined (P,C)-cyclometalated gold(iii)–aryl complexes were prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. These complexes swiftly and cleanly reacted with norbornene and ethylene to provide cationic gold(i...

Sumario: | The synthesis and characterization of the first gold(iii)–arene complexes are described. Well-defined (P,C)-cyclometalated gold(iii)–aryl complexes were prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. These complexes swiftly and cleanly reacted with norbornene and ethylene to provide cationic gold(iii)–alkyl complexes, in which the remote phenyl ring was η(2)-coordinated to gold. The interaction between the aromatic ring and the gold(iii) center was thoroughly analyzed by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and DFT calculations. The π–arene coordination was found to significantly influence the stability and reactivity of low coordinated gold(iii) alkyl species. |
