Gold molecular precursors and gold–silica interactions

Abstract

The gold(I) precursor Au(O2CNEt2)(PPh3) has been successfully employed to graft isolated Au(PPh3) fragments on amorphous silica. Molecular models of the silica surface, i.e. Ph3SiOH, (c-C5H9)7Si7O12SiOH and (c-C5H9)7Si7O9(OH)3, have been found to react with Au(O2CNR2)(PPh3), R = Me, Et, yielding the corresponding silanolato molecular complexes containing the SiO–Au(PPh3) moiety. Gold nanoparticles on silica have been produced by using AuCl(CO) as precursor.
