Gold, bond dissociation energies

Examples of silver(l) alkyl and alkenyl (including aryl) complexes have been known from as early as 1941 6-9 however, the number of examples is fairly limited with respect to that of the heavier congeners, copper(l) and gold(l). Such a phenomenon can readily be attributed to the relatively low stability of this class of complexes, both photochemically and thermally. Simple homoleptic alkyl and alkenyl complexes of silver(i) are known to be very unstable under ambient temperature and light, and successful isolation of this class is fairly limited and mainly confined to those involving perfluoroorganics.10 The structures and the metal-carbon bond-dissociation energies for... 

A comparison of experimental values for intermetallic diatomic molecules with gold with the corresponding value calculated by the Pauling model and by the atomic cell model has been given in Table 6 of Reference ( ). Table 7 of Reference ( ) shows a comparison between experimental dissociation energies with values calculated by the atomic cell model and the empirical valence bond model. Table 9 of Reference ( ) takes Mledema s refinements (43) of the atomic cell model into account In these comparisons.
