Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of a series of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of Au(III), (NHC)AuCl₃, is described. High yields are obtained when the corresponding Au(I) species (NHC)AuCl are oxidized with inexpensive aqua regia. The oxidation is in some cases accompanied by substitution and/or anti addition of Cl₂ across the backbone C [double bond, length as m-dash] C bond of unsaturated NHC ligands.
