Spectral and electrochemical studies of bis(diimine)copper(II) complexes in anionic, cationic and nonionic micelles

The spectral and redox behavior of bis(diimine)copper(II) complexes, where diimine is bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and dipyrido-[3,2-d:2',3'-f]-quinoxaline, are significantly different in aqueous and in aqueous SDS, CTAB and Triton X-100 micellar solutions. The (1)H NMR spectral study in aqueous (D(2)O) and aqueous micelles reveals that the Cu(II) complexes interact more strongly with SDS than with CTAB and Triton X-100 micelles and at sites on SDS micelles different from those on the latter. Ligand Field spectral studies reveal that the complexes exist as the dicationic aquated species [Cu(diimine)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](2+), which interacts strongly with the anionic SDS micelles through columbic forces. However, they exist as [Cu(diimine)(2)(H(2)O)Cl](+) and/or [Cu(diimine)(2)H(2)] located in the hydrophobic microenvironments in Triton X-100 and CTAB micelles. The attainment of reversibility of the redox systems in the micellar microenvironments is remarkable and this illustrates that the Cu(II) and Cu(I) species undergo stereochemical changes suitable for reversible electron-transfer. The remarkable differences in spectral and electrochemical properties of Cu(II) complexes in aqueous and aqueous micellar solutions illustrate that the complexes are nestled largely within the micellar environments and imply that the accessibilities of the complexes to electron-transfer are different and are dependent on the nature of micelles as well as the nature and hydrophobicity of the diimine ligands.     

Aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols catalyzed by copper complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline-derived ligands

Five copper complexes [(L(1))(2)Cu(H(2)O)](ClO(4))(2) (1), [(L(1))Cu(H(2)O)(3)](ClO(4))(2) (1a), [(L(3))(2)Cu(H(2)O)](ClO(4))(2) (2), [(L(5))(2)Cu(H(2)O)](ClO(4))(2) (3) and [(L(6))(2)Cu](ClO(4)) (4) (where L(1) = 1,10-phenanthroline, L(3) = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, L(5) = 1,10-phenanthrolinefuroxan and L(6) = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolinefuroxan), and in situ prepared copper complexes of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (L(2)) or 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolinedione (L(4)) were used for aerial oxidation of primary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes under ambient conditions. The copper catalysts have been found to catalyze a series of primary alcohols including one secondary alcohol with moderate turnover numbers and selectivity towards primary alcohols. Copper(ii) complexes 1 (or 1a) and 2 were found to be the better catalysts among all other systems explored in this study. A copper(ii)-superoxo species is implicated to initiate the oxidation reaction. Structural and electronic factors of 1,10-phenanthroline-based ligands affecting the catalytic results for aerial oxidation of alcohols are discussed.     

A spectroscopic and computational study on the effects of methyl and phenyl substituted phenanthroline ligands on the electronic structure of Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes containing 2,6-dimethylphenylisocyanide

[Re(CO)3(CNx)(L)]+, where CNx = 2,6-dimethylphenylisocyanide, forms complexes with L = 1,10-phenanthroline (1), 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (2), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (3), 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5) and 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (6). The metal-ligand-to-ligand charge transfer transition (MLLCT) absorption bands follow the series: (27800 cm(-1)) > 1, 2, 4 and 5(27500 cm(-1)) > 6 (26600 cm(-1)). Density functional theory (DFT) geometry optimizations reveal elongated Re-N (L) distances of 2.28 and 2.27 A for 5 and 6, respectively, compared to 2.23 A for 1-4. The reversible reduction potentials (E(1/2(red))) of 1-4 are linearly dependent on the B3LYP calculated LUMO energies. Time-dependent (TD) DFT and conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM) calculated singlet excited states deviate by 700 cm(-1) or less from the experimental absorption maxima and aid in the spectral assignments. The (3)MLLCT emitting state energies are within 900 cm(-1) of the experimental 77 K emission energies for 1-6. The 77 K emission energies, E(1/2(red)), and the room temperature emission quantum yields (phi(LUMO)(em)) decrease in the order 1 >2 >3 >4 whereas E(LUMO) and the room temperature emission energies follow the opposite trend. The emission lifetimes (tau(em)) decrease in the order 3 > 4 >2 >1 >5 with 3 having the highest emission lifetime values of 26.9 micros at room temperature and 384 micros at 77 K and complex 5 having the lowest emission lifetimes of 4.6 micros at room temperature and 61 micros and 77 K.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of Cu(I) and Ni(II) complexes that contain the bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether ligand. Novel emission properties for the Cu(I) species

The pseudotetrahedral complexes [Cu(NN)(DPEphos)]BF(4), where DPEphos = bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether and NN = 1,10-phenanthroline (1), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (2), 2,9-di-n-butylphenanthroline (3), or two dimethylcyanamides (4), and NiCl(2)(DPEphos) (5) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and their solution properties examined by use of a combination of cyclic voltammetry, NMR spectroscopy, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. Complexes 1-4 possess a reversible Cu(II)/Cu(I) couple at potentials upward of +1.2 V versus Ag/AgCl. Compounds 1-3 exhibit extraordinary photophysical properties. In room-temperature dichloromethane solution, the charge-transfer excited state of the dmp (dbp) derivative exhibits an emission quantum yield of 0.15 (0.16) and an excited-state lifetime of 14.3 mus (16.1 mus). Coordinating solvents quench the charge-transfer emission to a degree, but the photoexcited dmp complex 2 retains a lifetime of over a microsecond in acetone, methanol, and acetonitrile.     

Exceptionally long-lived luminescence from [Cu(I)(isocyanide)2(phen)]+ complexes in nanoporous crystals enables remarkable oxygen gas sensing

We report crystalline mixed-ligand copper complexes with phenanthroline and isocyanides with almost millesecond emission lifetimes that are efficient dioxygen sensors. The oxygen sensitivity of the prototype ([Cu(CN-xylyl)(2)(dmp)]tfpb, dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline; CN-xylyl = 2,6-dimethylphenylisocyanide; tfpb = tetrakis(bis-3,5-trifluoromethylphenylborate) is 38 times better than that of [Ru(phen)(3)]tfpb(2) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline).     

Study of ion-association complexes used in spectrophotometric determination of iron

The following ion-association systems were investigated spectrophotometrically: Fe(2,2'-bipyridyl)(3)(Methyl Orange)(2); Fe(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Methyl Orange)(2); Fe(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Methyl Orange)2; Fe(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Benzyl Orange)2; Fe(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Benzyl Orange)(2). The molar absorptivities may be calculated with good precision on the basis of the spectra of the reacting species (iron chelate and dye anion), their stoichiometry and the degree of extraction. Analytically the most useful is the Fe(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Methyl Orange)(2) complex, molar absorptivity 4.83 x 10(4) 1. mole(-1) cm(-1) at 420 nm, but many metals (Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd) form similar extractable complexes and interfere.     

Carbonylrhodium(I) complexes with heterocyclic nitrogen compounds

Crystalline complexes of rhodium(I) of the type [Rh(CO)₂(NN)] [RhX₂-(CO)₂] (NN  2,2'-bipyridyl, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-dipheynl-1,10-phenanthroline; X = Cl, Br) have been prepared. An ionic chain-like structure involving metal-metal interactions has been established by measurement of the reflectance spectra, absorption electronic spectra and electrical conductivities. The IR spectra have been examined over the 50–4000 cm^-1 range.     

Structures, electronic properties and solid state luminescence of Cu(I) iodide complexes with 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and aliphatic aminomethylphosphines or triphenylphosphine

The luminescent complexes of triphenylphosphine and two interesting aminomethylphosphines: P(CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)NCH(3))(3) and P(CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)O)(3) with copper(I) iodide and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp): [CuI(dmp)PPh(3)], [CuI(dmp)P(CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)NCH(3))(3)] and [CuI(phen)P(CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)O)(3)] are presented in this work. These complexes were characterized in solution by means of NMR spectroscopy and their structures were crystallographically determined in the solid state. All complexes crystallize as the discrete dimers bound by π-stacking interactions between dmp rings. The coordination geometry about the Cu(I) centre is pseudo-tetrahedral showing small flattening and large rocking distortions. The investigated compounds exhibit intense orange photoluminescence in the solid state (emission peaks at r.t.: λ(max) = 588-592 nm; τ = 1.7-2.2 and 6.4-10.0 μs; at 77 K: λ(max) = 605-612 nm; τ = 4.8-6.5 and 32-47 μs), which is several orders higher than the luminescence of the analogous complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). Electronic and structural properties of the [CuI(dmp/phen)PR(3)] complexes were characterized using DFT methods to interpret their photophysics. On the basis of TDDFT calculations the broad CT bands observed in UV-Vis spectra are interpreted as the two mixed transitions from σ(CuI) bond with a small admixture of σ(CuP) bond to π* phen or dmp ligand: (MX,MPR(3))LCT, while the emissions most probably occur from two triplet states which are in thermal equilibrium.     

Cu(I)(2,9-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline)2+ complexes: correlation between solid-state structure and photoluminescent properties

The 90K solid-state structures, room temperature absorption, and room temperature and 17 K emission spectra of seven different salts of [Cu(I)(bfp)(2)](+) (bfp = 2,9-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) have been determined. To quantify the distortion of the Cu coordination environment, a distortion parameter zeta is defined that is a combined measure of the flattening, rocking, and wagging distortions of the complex cations. In general, the distortion in the (bfp) cations is less than found previously for Cu(I)(dmp)(2) (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) salts, in particular the flattening is reduced because of the bulkier 2,9-substituents. The 17 K lifetimes range up to 1.8 mus in the series of solids examined and, with the marked exception of the BF(4)(-) salt, correlate linearly with the distortion parameter zeta. The emission wavelength red-shifts with decreasing lifetime, which implies that an increased ground-state distortion is associated with a smaller energy gap.     

Bimetallic bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene bridged copper(I) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives: synthesis,crystal structure,and spectroscopic characterization

A new series of bimetallic bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene-bridged copper(I) 1,10-phenanthroline complexes, [Cu₂(dppa)₂(L)₂](BF₄)₂; L?=?1,10-phenanthroline (1); 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (2); 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (3); and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4), have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The X-ray structures of 1 and 4 were determined. The structures consist of centrosymmetric bimetallic 10-membered chair-like dimetallacycles. In 1, intermolecular C–H?π interactions result in bending of the phenanthroline ligand and sterically induced lengthening of one Cu–P bond. In 1–4, the ³¹P NMR downfield coordination shift, relative to the free ligand, correlates with the basic strength of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligands.     

Potentiometric Studies on Complexation of Cu(II) Ion with Methyl/Nitro-Substituted 1,10-Phenanthrolines and Selected Amino Acids

Protonation constants of methyl/nitro substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines {(m/n-sphen): 4-methyl-phenanthroline (4-mphen), 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5-mphen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen), 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (tmphen) and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (5-nphen)] and the amino acids (aa) l-tyrosine (tyr) and glycine (gly), and their corresponding binary and ternary stability constants with Cu(II), were determined in aqueous 0.1 mol·L^?1 KCl ionic media at 298.15 K. The protonation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of the binary and ternary complexes of Cu(II) with the ligands were calculated from the potentiometric data using the “BEST” software package. The species distribution diagrams were obtained using the “SPE” software package under the experimental conditions described. The order of stability of the ternary complexes in terms of the primary ligands is [Cu(tmphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(dmphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(4-mphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(5-mphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(5-nphen)(aa)]⁺. The stability constants of the ternary complexes decrease in the following order: [Cu(m/n-sphen)(gly)]⁺ > [Cu(m/n-sphen)(tyr)]⁺, which is identical to the sequence found for the binary complexes of Cu(II) with gly and tyr.     

Crystal structures and antibacterial properties of Cu(II) complexes containing an unsymmetrical N2O Schiff base ligand and bidentate N-donor heterocyclic co-ligands

Abstract

Three new Cu(II) Schiff base complexes with bidentate N-donor heterocyclic co-ligands, 2,2'-bipyridine (1), 1,10-phenanthroline (2), and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (3), were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. Molecular structures of [C₂₀H₂₁CuN₄O](ClO₄) (1) and [C₂₄H₂₅CuN₄O](ClO₄) (3) were characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The Schiff base ligand is an N₂O-type ligand, which is the mono-condensed form of the reaction between 1,3-propanediamine and salicylaldehyde. The antibacterial activities of these complexes were investigated against one gram positive and four gram negative bacteria. Considerable antibacterial activity was obtained against both gram type bacteria. Complexes 2 and 3 with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, respectively, showed better antibacterial activity compared to 1 which has the 2,2'-bipyridine co-ligand.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of a Series of Ruthenium(II) Complexes Containing 2-Arylimidazo-[4,5- f ][1,10]Phenanthroline

Three novel mononuclear ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(dmp) 2 L] 2+ [dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, L = 2-phenylimidazo-[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline (PIP), 2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo-[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline (HOP), 2-(4'-dimethylaminophenyl)imidazo-[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline (DMNP)] were synthesized and characterized by ES-MS, 1 H NMR, UV-Vis and electrochemistry. The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the ruthenium(II) complexes were investigated by Z -scan techniques with 12 ns laser pulses at 540 nm, and all of them exhibit both NLO absorption and self-defocusing effects. The corresponding effective NLO susceptibility | h 3 | of the complexes is in the range of 5.15 2 10 m 12 m 6.34 2 10 m 12 esu.     

Simple Cu(I) complexes with unprecedented excited-state lifetimes.

This report describes new, readily accessible copper(I) complexes that can exhibit unusually long-lived, high quantum yield emissions in fluid solution. The complexes are of the form [Cu(NN)(POP)]+ where NN denotes 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) or 2,9-di-n-butyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dbp) and POP denotes bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl] ether. Modes of characterization include X-ray crystallography and cyclic voltammetry. The complexes each have a pseudotetrahedral coordination geometry and a Cu(II)/Cu(I) potential upward of +1.2 V vs Ag/AgCl. In room-temperature dichloromethane solution, charge-transfer excited states of the dmp and dbp derivatives exhibit respective emission quantum yields of 0.15 and 0.16 and corresponding excited-state lifetimes of 14.3 and 16.1 mus, respectively. Despite the fact that coordinating solvents usually quench charge-transfer emission from copper systems, the photoexcited dmp (dbp) complex retains a lifetime of 2.4 mus (5.4 mus) in methanol.     

Rhodium and platinum complexes as catalysts for the polymerization of phenylacetylene

In polymerization reactions of phenylacetylene three different types of polyphenylacetylene (PPA) were prepared by using Rh and Pt complexes as catalysts in different reaction conditions. Type I PPA is obtained with [Rh (COD) Chel] PF₆ complexes (COD = cis,cis-cycloocta 1,5-diene; chel = 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) in bulk, benzene methanol, while type II PPA is obtained with the same catalysts in p-dioxane and type III PPA in the presence of [Pt (? C?CPh)₂(PPh₃)₂] in bulk. Type I, II, and III PPA exhibit different IR and ¹H-NMR spectra, which have been compared with literature data. Correlations proposed by different Authors between spectral properties of PPA and chain structures are also discussed.     

Photobehavior of (alpha-diimine)dimesitylplatinum(II) complexes

The photobehavior of complexes of the type Pt(diimine)(mes)2 is investigated (where diimine = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (tmp), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (2,9-dmp), 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5,6-dmp), and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dpp) and mes = the mesityl (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) anion). For all compounds studied, solution RT emission is observed to be weak and excited-state lifetimes are found to be short (< or = 20 ns) regardless of solvent choice. Evidence is presented for energy-transfer quenching of Pt(dpp)(mes)2 luminescence in toluene by dissolved O2 (primarily producing singlet oxygen) with an observed quenching rate constant of kq > or = 1.3 x 10(9) M-1 s-1. Electron-transfer quenching is also observed in the presence of 3,5-dinitrobenzonitrile, yielding a quenching rate constant of kq > or = 1.6 x 10(9) M-1 s-1. The latter observation suggests that phase Pt(II) systems may have future value as excited-state reductants. All of the complexes display a much more intense and longer-lived luminescence in the solid state at room temperature. Several possible explanations for this dependence on phase are proposed, with the most probable mechanism involving radiationless deactivation in solution via rotation of the o-methyl groups of the mesityl ligands.     

Redox induced reversible structural transformations of dimeric and polymeric phenanthroline-based copper chelates

The synthesis and characterization of copper complexes of the phenanthroline based bridging ligands, 9-methyl-2-(2-[4-[2-(9-methyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)ethyl]phenyl]ethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline, 1, and 1,12-bis(9-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2-yl)dodecane, 2, are presented. Whereas in the first case a discrete dimeric complex [Cu(2)(1)(2)](BF(4))(2) was formed, in the latter, a coordination polymer [2(Cu(2))(n)](BF(4))(n) resulted. Both of these materials have been characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), and UV-vis spectroscopy and the results compared to those of the monomeric [Cu(dmp)(2)](BF(4)) (dmp is 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) species. Oxidation of the dimeric species results in its precipitation and reduction results in stripping of the deposited layer as ascertained from CV and EQCM measurements. The electrooxidation of the copper centers in the coordination polymer results in changes in the coordination which are fully reversible upon reduction. The dissociation/regeneration of the coordination polymer as a function of the redox state of the copper centers has been characterized by CV, EQCM, and UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry.     

Rhodium(I) carbonyl complexes with heterocyclic and nonheterocyclic nitrogen-donor ligands

Summary Complexes of the [Rh(N-N)(CO)₂][RhCl₂(CO)₂], [Rh(N-N)(CO)₂]BF₄ and Rh(N-N)(CO)₂Cl types where (N-N) = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me₂Phen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Ph₂Phen), 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me₂2Ph₂Phen) or 2,2-biquinoline (biq), have been prepared and investigated. Benzidine (benz) ando-tolidine (tol) also form complexes of the first type. The complexes of the first two types behave as 11 electrolytes. While Ph₂Phen forms the four coordinate monocarbonyl Rh(Ph₂Phen)(CO)Cl complex, benzo(f)-quinoline (Q) yields the Rh(CO)₂ (Q)Cl compound. Triphenyl-phosphine and triphenylarsine react with the above complexes to form the well knowntrans-Rh(CO)ClL₂ where L = PPh₃ or AsPh₃. The i.r. and u.v.-visible spectra of the compounds are discussed.     

Studies on the synthesis and magnetic property of binuclear oxovanadium(IV) complexes bridged by chloranilato group

Six novel oxovanadium(IV) binuclear complexes have been synthesized and characterized, namely, [(VO)₂(CA)L₂]SO₄ [L denotes 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me-phen); 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me₂-phen); 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline (Cl-phen); diaminoethane (en); 1,3-diaminopropane (pn) and 1,2-diaminopropane (ap) respectively.], where CA represents the dianion of chloranilic acid. Based on elemental analyses, molar conductivity and room temperature magnetic moment measurements, IR and electronic spectral studies, it is proposed that there complexes have CA-bridged structures and consist of two vanadium(IV) ions in a square-pyramidal environment. The complexes [(VO)₂(CA)(Me-phen)₂]SO₄ (1) and [(VO)₂(CA)(Me₂-phen)₂]SO₄ (2) were characterized by variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements (4～300 K) and the observed data were fitted to the modified Bleaney-Bowers equation by the least-squares method, giving the exchange integral J=-15.8 cm^?1 for 1 and J=-10.6 cm^?l for 2. This result indicates that there is a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between the two VO²⁺ ions within each molecule.     

Effect of heterocyclic diimine ligands with donor and acceptor substituents on the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of Au(III) complexes

The composition, structure, and properties of a series of Au(III) complexes with heterocyclic diimine ligands [Au(N^N)Cl₂]⁺, where (N^N) = 2,2′-bipyridine (Bipy), 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (DmBipy), 2,2′-biquinoline (Bqx), 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DmPhen), and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DphPhen), were characterized by ¹H NMR, electronic absorption, and emission spectroscopy and also by cyclic voltammetry. The influence of donor and acceptor substituents on the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the Au(III) complexes was revealed.
