This review considers phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of gold (I) that are
used as (pre) catalysts for a range of reactions in organic synthesis. These are divided …

Although the coordination chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with transition
metals has been explored for half a century, only in the past ten years has the chemistry of …

In this contribution, we provide an overview of the main avenues that have emerged in gold
coordination chemistry during the last years. The unique properties of gold have motivated …

Visual kinetic analyses extract meaningful mechanistic information from experimental data
using the naked-eye comparison of appropriately modified progress reaction profiles. Basic …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as one of the most useful class of ligands
for metal complexes primarily due to their relatively easy synthesis, broad structural and …

A gold complex with a naphthalene-di-imide-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)
ligand was prepared and characterized. The electrochemical studies reveal that the complex …

In this study we report the preparation of a new mechanically interlocked molecule formed
by the self‐aggregation of two metallotweezers composed by two pyrene‐imidazolylidene …

The oxidation of Au (I) complexes featuring two hemilabile ligands was investigated. The
phosphine-amine (P∧ N) and mesoionic N-heterocyclic carbene-pyridine (C∧ N) ligands …

A trigonal‐prismatic hexagold cage was obtained by combining a triphenylene‐tris (N‐
heterocyclic carbene) ligand and a carbazolyl‐bis (alkynyl) linker. The metallocage has a …

AU‐shaped di‐gold metallotweezer with two pyrene‐imidazolylidene edges and a xanthenyl‐
bis‐alkynyl connector was prepared. This metallotweezer acts as metalloligand in the …
