Gold chemistry has developed extensively in the past decade, and a dozen good reviews have been presented discussing this progress. Few however have paid close attention to the progress in organic synthesis of dinuclear gold-catalysis. A dinuclear gold catalyst is defined here as a gold complex with two gold centers linked by a bidentate ligand. With theoretical analysis and some representative studies in recent years, this comprehensive review highlights the particular properties of dinuclear gold-complexes, especially aurophilic interactions, and systematically summarizes the recent achievements of dinuclear gold-catalyzed coupling reactions, asymmetric catalysis, and photocatalysis, where dinuclear gold catalysts tend to show a greater advantage than the mononuclear gold catalysts.

We present a study of the cooperative nature of the forces dominating the interaction between gold atoms and aryl-aryl stacking. For this purpose, we modeled a series of complexes of the type dpm(AuR) (dpm= bis(phoshino)methane; R = -CH, -CF, -CCl, and -Cl). The models were calculated at the MP2, CCSD(T), and DFT-D3(BJ) (PBE and TPSS) levels of theory.

Terphenylgermanium Ar*Ge [Ar*=CH(2,6-Trip), Trip=2,4,6-CHiPr] was found to act as a novel μ-Ge-bis(hexahapto-Trip) bridging ligand. Deprotonated terphenyl germanium trihydride [Li(thf)][Ar*GeH] (1) undergoes reductive elimination and transfer of hydrogen in reaction with dimeric [(COD)RhCl] to yield the dinuclear complex [Ar*GeRh(COE)RhCl(COD)] (2). Subsequent chloride abstraction from compound 2 using Na[BAr ] or Li[Al(OBu)] results in the cationic complexes [Ar*GeRh(COE)Rh(COD)][WCA] (3) {WCA: [BAr ] (Ar=CH-3,5-(CF)), [Al(OBu)]}.

Four new mononuclear gold (I) compounds of the type [AuL{κC-2-CHP(S)Ph}] {L = PTA (1), PPh (2), PPh(CH-3-SONa) (3), and PPh(2-py) (4)} were prepared by scission of the dinuclear compound [Au{μ-2-CHP(S)Ph}] by L or via a transmetalation reaction using the organotin reagent 2-MeSnCHP(S)Ph and a suitable gold halide precursor. The cytotoxic potential of complexes 1-4 was evaluated against four human cancer cell lines of diverse cellular origin: cervical (HeLa), prostate (PC-3), non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma (A549), and fibrosarcoma (HT-1080). The in vitro cytotoxicity results showed that 1 demonstrated exceptional anticancer activity with IC values ranging from 0.

Multi-resonance (MR) type emitters have emerged as highly promising candidates for high-resolution organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emissions with simultaneous short excited state lifetimes and ultrapure blue color (a CIE close to 0.046 and an emission peak >440 nm) have rarely been obtained for MR emitters.

Two-coordinate Au(I) complexes with a donor-metal-acceptor (D-M-A) structure have shown rich luminescent properties. However, charge-neutral dinuclear donor-metal-acceptor type Au(I) complexes featuring aurophilic interactions have been seldom explored. Herein, we describe the structures and photoluminescence properties of two dinuclear Au(I) complexes, namely DiAu-Ph and DiAu-Me.
