Binding Interactions in Copper, Silver and Gold π-Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The copper(I), silver(I), and gold(I) metals bind π-ligands by σ-bonding and π-back bonding interactions. These interactions were investigated using bidentate ancillary ligands with electron donating and withdrawing substituents. The π-ligands span from ethylene to larger terminal and internal alkenes and alkynes. Results of X-ray crystallography, NMR, and IR spectroscopy and gas phase experiments show that the binding energies increase in the order Ag
