The gold catalysts have been applied in many interesting chemical transformations, especially in π-bond activation reactions to initiate nucleophilic addition. But experimental studies focused on gold heteroatom π-complexes were still limited. It is significant to research on the intermediates involved in gold-catalyzed reactions. Many groups have studied methodology and computational model to prove the reactivity of gold catalysts, but experimental evidences of gold-catalyzed mechanisms are still lacking. Alternatively, “silver effect” is an interesting topic in gold chemistry, which means that silver may be involved in some gold-catalyzed reactions. So we focus on the ligand effect of gold complex and their roles in gold-catalyzed reactions. en Wake Forest University catalysis gold mechanism organic chemistry Characterizations of Gold Complexes and Mechanism of its Usage in π-bond Activation Reactions Thesis Jones, Amanda Cynthia Bierbach, Ulich Jones, Paul Chemistry 2018-01-13 open.access
