Published: August 2022

We report the synthesis and characterization of two phosphine gold carbinol species designed to support intramolecular Au⋯H-O hydrogen bonding. Increasing the metallobasicity of gold through chloride to phenyl ligand substitution produced an observable increase in this hydrogen bond's strength which was analyzed experimentally and computationally.
