A Carbene-Stabilized Gold(I) Fluoride: Synthesis and Theory
dataset
posted on 2005-09-12, 00:00 authored by David S. Laitar, Peter Müller, Thomas G. Gray, Joseph P. SadighiThe first isolable gold(I) fluoride complex,
stabilized by an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand,
has been isolated in two-coordinate monomeric form.
DFT calculations show significant pπ/dπ interactions
between fluoride and gold(I) and indicate a substantial
negative charge on fluorine.
