Chloro[2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)biphenyl]gold(I)

Description:

Chloro[2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)biphenyl]gold(I) is a gold(I) complex characterized by its coordination of a chloro ligand and a bidentate phosphine ligand derived from dicyclohexylphosphine and biphenyl. This compound typically exhibits a square planar geometry around the gold center, which is common for gold(I) complexes. The presence of the bulky dicyclohexylphosphino group contributes to its steric properties, influencing its reactivity and solubility. The compound is often used in organometallic chemistry and catalysis, particularly in reactions involving gold catalysis due to its ability to activate substrates. Its stability and reactivity can be affected by the nature of the ligands and the reaction conditions. Additionally, the chloro ligand can participate in further coordination or substitution reactions, making this compound versatile in synthetic applications. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks typical of organometallic substances.
