Description du sujet de thèse
It is the aim of this PhD project to prepare and study true Au(0) complexes. We'll take advantage of our expertise in ligand design and gold chemistry under ligand control2-4 to access and stabilize Au(0) complexes retaining high spin density at gold. Chelating ligands will be employed to prevent dissociation and provide steric shielding. The Au(0) species will be prepared by electrochemical and/or chemical reduction. Their structure will be thoroughly analyzed by experimental and computational means. Their reactivity will be explored, with special interest for radical-reactivity at gold, a very uncommon behaviour.
