Calculated structures of [Au=C=Au]2+ and related systems

Theoretical Chemistry of Gold

“…If Au is a “halogen”, Au + (or the isoelectronic Pt) would then be “chalcogens” 187. The mass‐spectroscopically observed [CAu] + , [CAu 2 ] 2+ , and [CAu 3 ] + were found to be good bonding analogues of CO, CO 2 , and CO 3 2− , respectively.…”

Theoretische Chemie des Golds

“…Wenn Au selbst ein “Halogen” ist, sollte sich Au + (oder das isoelektronische Pt) als “Chalkogen” verhalten 187. In diesem Sinne lassen sich die massenspektrometrisch nachgewiesenen Spezies CAu + , CAu 2 2+ und CAu 3 + als Bindungsanaloga von CO, CO 2 und CO 3 2− betrachten.…”

Theoretical Search for Very Short Metal–Actinide Bonds: NUIr and Isoelectronic Systems

“…It was recently discovered1 that platinum can act, in discrete molecular groups, as a chemical analogue to oxygen. For instance the discrete molecular groups CPt, CPt 2 , and CPt 3 2− were then found to have analogous bonding systems as CO, CO 2 , and CO 3 2− , respectively.…”
