Abstract
The electrochemical oxidation of copper, silver, or gold into acetonitrile solutions of benzyl chloride or hydrogen halide plus triphenylphosphine leads to the formation of the adducts MXLn (M = Cu, Ag, Au; X = Cl, Br, I; L = Ph3P; n = 1, 1.5, 2; not all combinations). The value of n depends markedly on the mole ratio Ph3P:dissolved metal. The reaction pathway is discussed in the light of measurements of current efficiency. The results of X-ray structural studies of AuCl•L and AuClL2 are briefly reported.Keywords
