Abstract

Colloidal coordination compounds in the sub-micrometer range were synthesized from a chloro gold(I) carbene complex via the anti-solvent procedure and stabilized by a surfactant shell of Tween 20. This compound was successfully applied as model system to monitor heterogeneous multiphase ligand substitution reactions at the solid-liquid interface.

Keywords: colloids; gold; halide ligands; heterogeneous reactions; multiphase systems.
