Article Synopsis
- The reaction between -[AuF(pyridine)] and [PhI(pyridine)] produces PhIF and [Au(pyridine)].
- Investigation using model Palladium (Pd) and Platinum (Pt) analogues suggests that the reaction mechanism involves the Au-F attacking I(III) instead of a redox process.
- This shows that the Au(III)-F fragment can act as a nucleophile, even within a positively charged, electron-poor complex.
