Abstract

A large number of cationic Au(I) π-complexes have been reported in the literature. However, a single X-ray structure of genuine [Au(PPh3)(hydrocarbon)]+ π-complex without any additional stabilization has not been published so far. We present herein isolation and X-ray characterization of several complexes of this type. Also, we show that these π-complexes are more stable than previously reported and we investigate different modes of activation of the [Au(PPh3)]Cl precatalyst on their stability in solution.
