Structure and bonding in gold(I) compounds. Part 3. Mössbauer spectra of three-co-ordinate complexes

Abstract
Mössbauer spectra are reported for a number of gold(I) complexes which might be expected to be three-co-ordinate. The spectral data are related to the possible electronic and geometric structures of these complexes. It is shown that the Mössbauer spectrum provides a useful, although not invariably unambiguous, indication of geometry.
