Pushing Gold beyond its common redox states
The chemical elements are central to chemistry, physics and biology. Exploring their different states and chemical bonding is thus of utmost importance. Yet, 150 years after Mendeleev recognized periodicity in the structure and properties of the elements, there is still much to discover and exploit. Indeed, some elements are still confined to a few oxidation states. This is especially true for gold which, despite major progress over the last decades, lags well behind the other transition metals. At the molecular level, only Au(I) and Au(III) complexes are known essentially. The aim of Gold-Redox is to expand the chemical space of gold to other oxidation states that remain curiosities or are…
