Graphical Abstract
Die geminale Diaurierung von [Ph3PAu(Aryl)]-Komplexen wurde als Modell untersucht, um Einblick in die intermediäre Bildung von geminalen diaurierten Gold(I)-Vinylkomplexen in der Katalyse zu gewinnen (siehe Schema). Die Ergebnisse tragen zum Verständnis der Faktoren bei, die die Stabilität, Reaktivität und Dynamik dieser metallorganischen Zwischenstufen bestimmen.

- 8We have attempted the synthesis of non-heteroatom and non-cyclopropyl-stabilized digold vinyl complexes, but these complexes rapidly decomposed through CC bond forming homocoupling as published by Fürstner et al. (ref. [6a]). The same reactivity was also observed with aryl complexes, but at a much lower rate. Electron-deficient digold aryl complexes (e.g. 1 c) decomposed at a significantly higher rate than electron-rich digold aryl complexes (e.g. 1 a).
