Abstract
When C6Cl5AuPPh3 reacts with halogens the oxidation of the gold (I) complex and the formation of X2Au (C6Cl5)-PPh3 (where X + Cl, Br, I) takes place. However, when C6F5AuPPh3 reacts with halogens, I2 causes also oxidation and splitting of the Au-C bond, is observed in the case of Cl2 (total) and Br2 (only partial). When RAuL (where R + Cl, C6F5; L + PPh3, AsPh3) is heated to reflux temperature with TlCl3 in chloroform solution, Cl2AuRL is obtained.
