“…The IGMH plot (Figure 8c, 8e) and NBO diagrams (Figure 8d, 8f) show that both Cl and Au can be XB acceptors. 108 In addition, a small number of studies have recently been reported on unconventional XBs in positively charged metal centers. The metal centers provided the d-orbital for the XB and thus behaved as nucleophilic components in the noncovalent interaction.…”

“…We suggest using carbon-bonding metal catalysis (CBMC) to describe those catalysis processes that involve carbon-bonding-mediated supramolecular metal complexes as active species. While halogen, chalcogen, and hydrogen bonding could mediate reactivity in gold catalysis, weak interactions that direct selectivity in these catalysis processes remain to be explored. Herein, we report our efforts on CBMC and show that a carbon-bonding gold complex can direct structural-isomer selection in gold-catalyzed reactions (Figure b).…”

Carbon is a primary element to constitute organic molecules, while metal catalysis is a basic tool in organic synthesis. The establishment of a link between the ubiquitous carbon bonding and metal catalysis is thus a fundamentally important problem. However, there is yet no experimental example to introduce the role of carbon bonding in a metal catalysis process. Herein, we merged the topics of carbon bonding and metal catalysis together and demonstrated that a supramolecular carbon-bonding metal complex can not only give rise to catalytic activity but, more remarkably, direct structural-isomer selection events in goldcatalyzed reactions. The experimental results unveil the fact that the imposing of weak carbon-bonding interactions on a gold complex can alter the carbene as well as the Lewis acid property of these catalysts. These results illustrate a nonnegligible role of weak carbon-bonding interactions in the modulation of metal catalysis. As such, carbon-bonding metal catalysis is suggested to be used as a routine tool not only in the development of reactions but more frequently in analyzing reaction processes in metal catalysis.
