They are mainly synthesized following four different strategies. Two of them use the acid-base process with gold precursors acting as acids or organoaurates acting as bases, the third one consists of the use of bidentate bridging ligands, and the fourth uses the isolobal relationship between the [(R3P)Au]+ cations and the proton in carbonyl clusters. The structural behavior of these complexes has been studied by different methods, mainly Mossbauer spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their structures show discrete molecules, extended linear chains or even two- or three-dimensional networks. Many of these complexes display luminescence and the emissions are strongly dependent on their structures. Some theoretical calculations are able to show that the formation of metal–metal interactions or bonds, as well as the gold environments, are the main aspects that affect the energy of the emissions. Other very promising areas of research such as the potential applications in electrochemistry, in biology (antiproliferative and antitumoral activity) or as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts are also discussed. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000 \u0000biological properties; \u0000catalysis; \u0000heterometallic gold complexes; \u0000luminescence; \u0000metal–gold bonds; \u0000metal–gold clusters; \u0000metal–gold interactions; \u0000silver complexes; \u0000thallium complexes","PeriodicalId":20036,"journal":{"name":"Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups","volume":"95 1","pages":"1-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88200141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The properties of g-DHPs are then overviewed, with an emphasis on the physical properties, biological activity, thermal stability, spectroscopic properties, and behavior on chromatographic media. The remaining sections describe the synthesis and reactions of g-DHPS. The largest of these sections describes the various methods for synthesis of g-DHPs based upon class of catalyst or reagent and compares applications of different reagents selected target skeletons. One of the most significant applications of g-DHPs, their use as precursors for 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes, is discussed in detail, including tabular comparisons of approaches to selected skeletons.

Methods for the formation of intact, gas phase cations and anions from labile, often nonvolatile, peroxides using conventional and contemporary soft ionization techniques are described. Studies of the unimolecular dissociation of these ionized peroxides are shown to yield new understanding of energetics and bonding as well as providing diagnostic markers for the elucidation of molecular structure. The bimolecular chemistries of peroxides in the gas phase are considered in two categories: (i) reactions of ions with neutral peroxides; and (ii) the reactions of deprotonated organic hydroperoxides with neutral substrates. Advanced topics cover analytical applications of chemical ionization to the detection of peroxides and peroxyl radicals along with the synthesis of distonic peroxyl radical ions.

Among the sigmatropic rearrangements that can be gold-promoted, particular attention has been brought to the Cope and Claisen rearrangements, and to the rearrangement of propargylic esters, which have been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical investigations. Compared to the thermally induced version of such rearrangements, the use of electrophilic gold species as catalysts allows significant reduction in the energy demand so that transformations can generally be performed at moderate temperature with a good control of the chemo- and/or stereoselectivities.
