Abstract The copper (I), silver (I), and gold (I) metals bind π‐ligands by σ‐bonding and π‐
back bonding interactions. These interactions were investigated using bidentate ancillary …

Bis-and tris-pyridyl borate ligands containing pyridyl donor arms, a methylated boron cap,
and a fluorine-lined coordination pocket have been prepared and utilized in coinage metal …

Long overlooked, chelating ligands have garnered recently increasing interest in gold
chemistry. They enforce bending at gold (I) and thereby, noticeably modify its electronic …

Gold coordination chemistry and catalysis involving unsaturated hydrocarbons such as
olefins have experienced a remarkable growth during the last few decades. Despite the …

A useful ligand involving three pyridyl donor arms and fluorocarbon substituents
surrounding the coordination pocket has been assembled and utilized in coinage metal …

A series of gold (I)–ethylene π-complexes containing a family of bulky phosphine ligands
has been prepared. The use of these sterically congested ligands is crucial to stabilize the …

A combined theoretical and experimental approach has been used to study the unusual
mechanism of oxidative addition of aryl iodides to [bipyAu (C2H4)]+ complexes. The …

The use of the exceptionally bulky tris-2-(4, 4′-di-tert-butylbiphenylyl) phosphine ligand
allows the isolation and complete characterization of the first dicoordinate gold (I)–ethylene …

Considering the cytotoxic properties of Schiff base ligands, we re-synthesized a gold (III)
complex with a tetradentate Schiff base ligand and investigated its cytotoxic effects using the …

The π‐complexes of cationic coinage metal ions (Cu (I), Ag (I), Au (I)) provide useful
experimental support for understanding fundamental characteristics of bonding and 13C …
