Synthesis, Structure and Gas-Phase Reactivity of a Silver Hydride Complex [Ag3{(PPh2)2CH2}3(μ3-H)(μ3-CI)]BF4

摘要

Coinage metal hydrides continue to attract attention because of their interesting structural and physical properties, as well as for their role as reagents or intermediates in the transformation of organic substrates. For example, several copper hydride compounds have been structurally characterized and developed as catalysts for 1,4 reduction reactions of enones and for hydrocupration of alkynes In contrast, whereas their heavier congeners have been implicated as reactive intermediates in oxidation and other reactions and have been characterized in the gas phase as well as by matrix isolation experiments few silver and gold hydride compounds have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography
