Here, we explored species formed at different proportions of HAuCl4, H2Se and H2S at room temperature using in situ UV-vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta-potential measurement and ex situ Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. Metal gold colloids arose at the molar ratios H2Se(H2S)/HAuCl4 less than 2. At higher ratios, pre-nucleation “dense liquid” species having the hydrodynamic diameter of 20–40 nm, zeta potential −40 mV to −50 mV, and the indirect band gap less than 1 eV derived from the UV-vis spectra grow into submicrometer droplets over several hours, followed by fractional nucleation in the interior and + coagulation of disordered gold chalcogenide.

Understanding gold-(silver)-telluride-(selenide) mineral deposits Abstract Gold-(silver)-telluride (selenide) ores occur as epithermal orogenic and intrusion related deposits. Although Te and Se are chalcophile elements and share geochemical affinity withu, A formation of selenides and other elements Ag-Au require acidic or reducing environments. The thermodynamic stability conditions for Au and Agtellurides and native tellurium indicate an epithermal environment. Analysis of mineral paragenensis, textures and compositional variation in tellurides/selenides suggest petrogenetic processes involving interaction with fluids leading ot Au scavenging and entrapment in tellurides, changes in chemistry/rates of fluid infiltration and attaining equilibrium in a given assemblage.

Abstract The manganese(II)-palladium(II)-sulfide complex [MnCl2(µ3-S)2Pd2(dppp)2] 2 has been isolated from the reaction of [(dppp)PdCl2] with [Li(N,N’-tmeda)]2[Mn(SSiMe3)4] 1 in a 2:1 ratio under mild conditions. The trimethylsilyl thiolate complex [(dppp)Pd(SSiMe3)2] 3 has been synthesized from the reaction of [(dppp)PdCl2] with Li[SSiMe3] as well as the reaction of [(dppp)Pd(OAc)2] with Li[SSiMe3] under mild conditions. The newly synthesized complex [(dppp)Pd(SSiMe3)2] 3 was used in reaction with the manganese(II) salt [(CH3CN)2Mn(OTf)2] to form the manganese(II)-palladium(II)-sulfide complex [Mn(OTf)(thf)2(µ-S)2Pd2(dppp)2]OTf 4.

Nine AuX molecules (X = H, O, S, Se, Te, F, Cl, Br, I), their isoelectronic HgX+ analogues, and the corresponding neutral HgX diatomics have been investigated using NESC (Normalized Elimination of the Small Component) and B3LYP theory to determine relativistic effects for bond dissociation energies (BDEs), bond lengths, dipole moments, and charge distributions. Relativistic effects are substantially larger for AuX than HgX molecules. AuX bonding has been contrasted with HgX bonding considering the effects of relativity, charge transfer and ionic bonding, 3-electron versus 2-electron bonding, residual π- bonding, lone pair repulsion, and the d-block effect. The interplay of the various electronic effects leads to strongly differing trends in calculated BDEs, which can be rationalized with a simple MO model based on electronegativity differences, atomic orbital energies, and their change due to scalar relativity. A relativis- tic increase or decrease in the BDE is directly related to relativistic

Abstract The synthesis of heterometallic chalcogenide molecules requires the continued investigation into the appropriate reagents necessary to introduce metal – chalcogen bonds in a controlled fashion. – Trimethylsilyl metallochalcogenolates (MESiMe3) act as synthons introducing “ME “ in solution upon reacting with an appropriate ternary metal reagent, MX (X= halide, acetate, etc.). Recent work makes use of N–heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) as a class of ancillary ligand that can stabilize these reagents and the heterometallic chalcogenide molecules obtained with them. Building on previous work, this thesis describes the synthesis of group 11 trimethylsilyl metallochalcogenolates stabilized by bis–1,3– tritylimidazole–2–ylidene (abbreviated ITr) to build this library of compounds and investigate their ’ reactivity towards dinuclear chalcogenide molecules, [(ITr)2M(μ2–E)M ] (M=Cu, Ag, Au; E=S, Se).
