Synthesis, Characterization, and Analysis of Molecular and Ionic Gold(I) Dimers with Diphosphine Ligands

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on three main areas of study: (1) investigating the effects of 3-coordinate gold (I)-centered dimers with aurophilic interactions, (2) comparing these with 2- coordinate gold (I)-centered dimers in terms of their emission properties, and (3) exploring the impact of changes in the bridging ligand chain length (n), where n ≤ 3, across different solvates and non-coordinating anions.
