Abstract

Terminal fluoride complexes of the monovalent group 11 metals, supported by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, react with one-half equivalent of triphenylmethyl cation to form fluoride-bridged dinuclear cations. An improved preparation of the starting terminal fluorides is introduced. The crystal structures of the cations display bent MFM arrangements with large intermetallic separations. The bridging fluorides are highly labile, undergoing facile hydrolysis. The fluoride-bridged digold complex adds across an allene CC bond to form a diaurated allylic fluoride.
