Abstract
The concept of diastereoselectivity switch in gold catalysis is investigated, which primarily depends on the effects of ligand and counterion. The origins of gold-catalyzed post-Ugi ipso-cyclization for the diastereoselective synthesis of spirocyclic pyrrol-2-one-dienone have been explored with density functional theory calculations. The reported mechanism emphasized the importance of the cooperation of ligand and counterion in diastereoselectivity switch, leading to the stereocontrolling transition states. Furthermore, the nonbonding interactions primarily between the catalyst and the substrate play a significant role in the cooperation of ligand and counterion. This work would be useful to further understand the reaction mechanism of gold-catalyzed cyclization and the effects of ligand and counterion.

Abstract
The phosphine-borane iPr2P(o-C6H4)BFxyl2 (Fxyl = 3,5-(F3C)2C6H3) 1-Fxyl was found to promote the reductive elimination of ethane from [AuMe2(μ-Cl)]2. Nuclear magnetic resonance monitoring revealed the intermediate formation of the (1-Fxyl)AuMe2Cl complex. Density functional theory calculations identified a zwitterionic path as the lowest energy profile, with an overall activation barrier more than 10 kcal/mol lower than without borane assistance. The Lewis acid moiety first abstracts the chloride to generate a zwitterionic Au(III) complex, which then readily undergoes C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling. The chloride is finally transferred back from boron to gold. The electronic features of this Lewis-assisted reductive elimination at gold have been deciphered by intrinsic bond orbital analyses. Sufficient Lewis acidity of boron is required for the ambiphilic ligand to trigger the C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling, as shown by complementary studies with two other phosphine-boranes, and the addition of chlorides slows down the reductive elimination of ethane.

Abstract
19F NMR monitoring shows that heating trans-[AuIIIRf2I2]- solutions (Rf = C6F3Cl2-3,5) leads to formation of cis-[AuRf2I2]-, [AuRf3I]- and [AuRfI3]-via kinetic competition between isomerization and Rf/I scrambling. The system evolution is driven by the easy Rf-I reductive elimination from [AuRfI3]- (forming also [AuI2]-), which is faster than any of the Rf-Rf couplings from the coexisting species, hindering the commonly desired and thermodynamically preferred C-C coupling. A kinetic model where I- dissociation triggers both isomerization and transmetalation steps is proposed, which fits well the experimental data. DFT calculations support that the lower bond strength of AuIII-I compared to other halides produces a pathway switch that makes C-I coupling kinetically preferred. Consequently, it is better avoided in reactions looking for C-C coupling.

Abstract
Herein, a density functional theory (DFT) study was performed to investigate asymmetric ketone hydrogenation (AKH) catalyzed by Mn complexes, from the catalytic mechanism to the catalyst design. The calculated results indicated that the Mn(CO)2-PSiNSiP (A1, PSiNSiP = P(Ph)2Si(CH3)2NSi(CH3)2P(Ph)2) pincer complex has potential high catalytic activity for ketone hydrogenation. The Mn(CO)-LYB (B, LYB = P(Ph)2Si(CH3)2NSi(CH3)2P(Me)2) pincer complex was then designed to catalyze AKH with good stereoselectivity. The hydrogen transfer (HT) step is the chirality-determining step. To avoid the enantiomer of Mn(CO)2-LYB, which could eliminate the high stereoselectivity during AKH, novel Mn complexes with quadridentate ligands, such as Mn(CO)-LYC (C, LYC = P(CH3)2CH2Si(CH3)NSi(CH3)(Si(CH3)CH2P(CH3)2)CH2P(Ph)2) and Mn(CO)-LYD (D, LYD = P(CH3)2CH2Si(CH3)NSi(CH3)(Si(CH3)CH2P(CH3)2)CH2P(Cy)2), were designed to drive AKH with medium stereoselectivity. In order to increase the stereoselectivity of AKH, Mn(CO)-LYE (E, LYE = PH2CH2Si(CH3)NSi(CH3)(Si(CH3)CH2P(CH3)2)CH2P(Ph)2) and Mn(CO)-LYF (F, LYF = PH2CH2Si(CH3)NSi(CH3)(Si(CH3)CH2P(CH3)2)CH2P(Cy)2) were further designed and showed very good stereoselectivity, which is due to the lower deformation energy and stronger interactions between the ketone substrates and catalysts. This work may shed light on the design of cheap metal catalysts with a new ligand framework for the asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of CX bonds (X = O, N).

Abstract
Pincer ligated coordination complexes of base metals have shown remarkable catalytic activity for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation of CO2 . The recently reported MeN[CH2 CH2 (i Pr2 )]2 Co(I)PNP-pincer complex was shown to exhibit substantially higher catalytic activity in comparison to the corresponding catalyst, HN[CH2 CH2 (i Pr2 )]2 Co(I)PNP, bearing a secondary nitrogen center on the pincer ligand. Here, we computationally investigate the mechanisms for hydrogenation of CO2 to formate catalyzed by these two Co-PNP complexes to explain how such a small structural difference could have a sizable impact on their catalytic activity. Plausible hydrogenation routes were examined in details and our findings provide solid support for the experimental observations. Our results reveal that such trends in catalytic activity could be explained from the lower activation barrier for the hydride transfer step upon changing the pincer nitrogen center from secondary to tertiary.

Abstract
A new family of cationic, bidentate (P^N)gold(III) fluoride complexes has been prepared and a detailed characterization of the gold-fluoride bond has been carried out. Our results correlate with the observed reactivity of the fluoro ligand, which undergoes facile exchange with both cyano and acetylene nucleophiles. The resulting (P^N)arylgold(III)C(sp) complexes have enabled the first study of reductive elimination on (P^N)gold(III) systems, which demonstrated that C(sp2 )-C(sp) bond formation occurs at higher rates than those reported for analogous phosphine-based monodentate systems.

Abstract
A new family of phosphine-ligated dicyanoarylgold(III) complexes has been prepared and their reactivity towards reductive elimination has been studied in detail. Both, a highly positive entropy of activation and a primary 12/13 C KIE suggest a late concerted transition state while Hammett analysis and DFT calculations indicate that the process is asynchronous. As a result, a distinct mechanism involving an asynchronous concerted reductive elimination for the overall C(sp2 )-C(sp)N bond forming reaction is characterized herein, for the first time, complementing previous studies reported for C(sp3 )-C(sp3 ), C(sp2 )-C(sp2 ), and C(sp3 )-C(sp2 ) bond formation processes taking place on gold(III) species.

Abstract
With the aim of exploiting new organometallic species for cross-coupling reactions, we report here on the AuIII -mediated Caryl -P bond formation occurring upon reaction of C^N cyclometalated AuIII complexes with phosphines. The [Au(C^N)Cl2 ] complex 1 featuring the bidentate 2-benzoylpyridine (CCO N) scaffold was found to react with PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) under mild conditions, including in water, to afford the corresponding phosphonium 5 through C-P reductive elimination. A mechanism is proposed for the title reaction based on in situ 31 P{1 H} NMR and HR-ESI-MS analyses combined with DFT calculations. The C-P coupling has been generalized to other C^N cyclometalated AuIII complexes and other tertiary phosphines. Overall, this work provides new insights into the reactivity of cyclometalated AuIII compounds and establishes initial structure-activity relationships to develop AuIII -mediated C-P cross-coupling reactions.

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are central to many organic synthesis methodologies. Traditionally, Pd, Ni, Cu, and Fe catalysts are used to promote these reactions. Recently, many studies have showed that both homogeneous and heterogeneous Au catalysts can be used for activating selective cross-coupling reactions. Here, an overview of the past studies, current trends, and future directions in the field of gold-catalyzed coupling reactions is presented. Design strategies to accomplish selective homocoupling and cross-coupling reactions under both homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions, computational and experimental mechanistic studies, and their applications in diverse fields are critically reviewed. Specific topics covered are: oxidant-assisted and oxidant-free reactions; strain-assisted reactions; dual Au and photoredox catalysis; bimetallic synergistic reactions; mechanisms of reductive elimination processes; enzyme-mimicking Au chemistry; cluster and surface reactions; and plasmonic catalysis. In the relevant sections, theoretical and computational studies of AuI /AuIII chemistry are discussed and the predictions from the calculations are compared with the experimental observations to derive useful design strategies.

Abstract
The development of orthogonal Csp2 -Csp2 coupling regimes to the omnipresent Pd-catalysis class would enable an additional dimension of modularity in the construction of densely functionalized biaryl motifs. In this context, the identification of potent functional groups for selective transformations is in high demand. Although organogermanium compounds are generally believed to be of low reactivity in homogenous catalysis, this report discloses the highly efficient and orthogonal reactivity of aryl germanes with arenes under gold catalysis. The method is characterized by mildness, the employment of an air- and moisture-stable gold catalyst, and robustness. Our mechanistic studies show that aryl germanes are highly reactive with Au(I) and Au(III). Our computational data suggest that the origin of this reactivity primarily lies in the relatively low bond dissociation energy and as such low distortion energy to reach the key bond activating transition state.

Abstract
With the aim of exploiting the use of organometallic species for the efficient modification of proteins through C‐atom transfer, the gold‐mediated cysteine arylation through a reductive elimination process occurring from the reaction of cyclometalated AuIII C^N complexes with a zinc finger peptide (Cys2His2 type) is here reported. Among the four selected AuIII cyclometalated compounds, the [Au(CCON)Cl2] complex featuring the 2‐benzoylpyridine (CCON) scaffold was identified as the most prone to reductive elimination and Cys arylation in buffered aqueous solution (pH 7.4) at 37 °C by high‐resolution LC electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. DFT and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) studies permitted to propose a mechanism for the title reaction that is in line with the experimental results. Overall, the results provide new insights into the reactivity of cytotoxic organogold compounds with biologically important zinc finger domains and identify initial structure–activity relationships to enable AuIII‐catalyzed reductive elimination in aqueous media.

Abstract
A detailed computational study is presented on the reaction mechanism of selective cysteine S-arylation by cationic Au(iii)-aryl reagents. The chemoselectivity origins have been elucidated through comparison with potential N- and O-arylation, showing that the acidity and nucleophilicity of the residue are two inherent controlling factors.

Abstract
The synthesis of [NMe4 ][AuF4 ] and [NEt4 ][AuF4 ], as well as an improved one-pot synthesis of Cs[AuF4 ], is reported. The new [AuF4 ]- salts were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. These salts are the first gold(III) fluoride salts that can be isolated in pure form and are convenient to be used in usual organic solvents for subsequent synthesis. The formation of molecular AuF3 complexes in solution is further reported, characterized as [F3 Au(NCCH3 )] at low temperature, as [F3 Au(py)] and a binuclear derivative which are stable at room temperature. The stability of these species in common organic solvents was investigated and they showed a satisfying stability.

Abstract
The discovery of photoassisted diazonium activation toward gold(I) oxidation greatly extended the scope of gold redox catalysis by avoiding the use of a strong oxidant. Some practical issues that limit the application of this new type of chemistry are the relative low efficiency (long reaction time and low conversion) and the strict reaction condition control that is necessary (degassing and inert reaction environment). Herein, an alternative photofree condition has been developed through Lewis base induced diazonium activation. With this method, an unreactive AuI catalyst was used in combination with Na2 CO3 and diazonium salts to produce a AuIII intermediate. The efficient activation of various substrates, including alkyne, alkene and allene was achieved, followed by rapid AuIII reductive elimination, which yielded the C-C coupling products with good to excellent yields. Relative to the previously reported photoactivation method, our approach offered greater efficiency and versatility through faster reaction rates and broader reaction scope. Challenging substrates such as electron rich/neutral allenes, which could not be activated under the photoinitiation conditions (<5 % yield), could be activated to subsequently yield the desired coupling products in good to excellent yield.
