We can use Pauling s empirical formula, which defines the Pauling electronegativity scale, for dissociation energies of a diatomic gold molecule.

Note We recommend that after performing step 1 above that the specimens be rinsed three times in a phosphate buffer (pH 7.2), which will remove any residual glutaraldehyde before beginning the dehydration series. Garduno etal. (13) also use a second technique in which they cut small pieces of medium containing diatoms and immediately fix the pieces in liquid nitrogen. The pieces are freeze-dried and then gold sputter coated. 

Morse potential phys chem An approximate potential associated with the distance r between the nuclei of a diatomic molecule in a given electronic state it is V(r) = D 1 - expl - a(r - rj where q is the equilibrium distance, D is the dissociation energy, and n is a constant. mors po.ten-chol mosaic gold See stannic sulfide. mo za-ik. gold ... 

Other similarities with halogens are the presence of diatomic molecules (Au2) in gold vapor, with dissociation energies comparable to those of halogens, or the spontaneous disproportionation of gold metal into Au and Au+, in a melt reaction in the presence of cesium. 

The dimer species, M2, was described by Huster (21) as a simple dissolved diatomic molecule. Such a species would be very unstable with respect to the ammoniated species, M + and e and may be ruled out by thermochemical data. The expanded metal dimer model of Becker, Lindquist, and Alder, in which two ammoniated metal ions are held together by a pair of electrons in a molecular orbital located principally between the two ions, is just as difficult to reconcile with optical, volumetric, and NMR data as the expanded metal monomer. In order to account for the similar absorption spectra of e, M, M2 (and any other species such as M or M4 that might exist at moderate concentrations of metal), Gold, Jolly, and Pitzer (16) assumed that species such as M and M2 consist of ionic aggregates in which the ammoniated electrons remain essentially unchanged from their state at infinite dilution. 

In vapor state, gold is formed by diatomic molecules (Au2), whose dissociation energy is higher than those of many other diatomic non-metal elements, such as halogens.3... 

The electron affinities of clusters behave in a similar manner. This fact, undoubtedly, has a role to play in the chemistry exhibited by nanometals that has been reported in the literature recently. For example, it has been shown that Au atoms (Gold is a noble metal in the bulk state) supported on a TiOa substrate shows a marked size effect in their ability to oxidize the diatomic gas CO to CO2 via a mechanism involving O2 dissociative chemisorption and CO adsorption (Valden et al., 1998). Small Ni particles have also been found to dissociate CO (Doering et al., 1982). Smaller nanoparticles of Ag can dissociate molecular oxygen to atomic oxygen at low temperatures, whereas in the bulk state, the species adsorbed on the Ag surface is O2 (Rao et al., 1992). 

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. 

One of the advantages of the relativistic ECP methods is their ability to include spin-orbit effects simultaneously to correlation effects at a reasonable cost. Recently Wiillen [121] the ZORA method to coinage metal diatomics and other others H, F, Cl diatomics. These results for the gold atom are shown in Table 2 where we add other DFT calculations. The agreement of the DFT methods with the experimental values is excellent. The dissociation energy of AuH has also been calculated extensively using several methods. Results are shown in Table 3.
