Abstract

Thanks to rational ligand design, the first gold(I) complexes to undergo oxidative addition of aryl iodides were discovered. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and is general. The ensuing aryl gold(III) complexes have been characterized by spectroscopic and crystallographic means. DFT calculations indicate that the bending induced by the diphosphine ligand plays a key role in this process.
