Roşca, Dragoş-Adrian Fernandez-Cestau, Julio Hughes, David L. Bochmann, Manfred Reactivity of Gold Hydrides: O<sub>2</sub> Insertion into the Au–H Bond Dioxygen reacts with the gold­(I) hydride (IPr)­AuH under insertion to give the hydroperoxide (IPr)­AuOOH, a long-postulated reaction in gold catalysis and the first demonstration of O<sub>2</sub> activation by Au–H in a well-defined system. Subsequent condensation gave the peroxide (IPr)­Au–OO–Au­(IPr) (IPr = 1,3-bis­(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)­imidazol-2-ylidene). The reaction kinetics are reported, as well as the reactivity of Au­(I) hydrides with radical scavengers.
