Abstract
In this work, we report on the synthesis of several organogold(III) complexes based on 4,4'-diterbutylbiphenyl (C^C) and 2,6-bis(4-terbutylphenyl)pyridine (C^N^C) ligands and bond with variously substituted pyridine ligands (pyrR). Altogether, 33 complexes have been prepared and studied with mass spectrometry using higher-energy collision dissociation (HCD) in an Orbitrap mass spectrometer. A complete methodology including the kinetic modeling of the dissociation process based on the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) statistical method is proposed to obtain critical energies E0 of the pyrR loss for all complexes. The capacity of these E0 values to describe the pyridine ligand effect is further explored, at the same time as more classical descriptors such as 1H pyridinic NMR shift variation upon coordination and Au-NpyrR bond length measured by X-ray diffraction. An extensive theoretical work, including density functional theory (DFT) and domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled-cluster theory (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) methods, is also carried out to provide bond-dissociation energies, which are compared to experimental results. Results show that dissociation energy outperforms other descriptors, in particular to describe ligand effects over a large electronic effect range as seen by confronting the results to the pyrR pKa values. Further insights into the Au-NpyrR bond are obtained through an energy decomposition analysis (EDA) study, which confirms the isolobal character of Au+ with H+. Finally, the correlation between the lability of the pyridine ligands toward the catalytic efficiency of the complexes could be demonstrated in an intramolecular hydroarylation reaction of alkyne. The results were rationalized considering both pre-catalyst activation and catalyst reactivity. This study establishes the possibility of correlating dissociation energy, which is a gas-phase descriptor, with condensed-phase parameters such as catalysis efficiency. It therefore holds great potential for inorganic and organometallic chemistry by opening a convenient and easy way to evaluate the electronic influence of a ligand toward a metallic center.

Abstract
Computational studies of low spin d6 cis- and trans-[M(en)2X2]+ complexes (M = Co, Rh, Ir) employing multiple model chemistries find that isomer preferences fall into three categories. Complexes where X is largely a σ-donor (H-, CH3-, CF3-) prefer cis geometries, in keeping with predictions associated with the trans influence series. Complexes where this donor characteristic is augmented by π acceptor behavior (B(CF3)2-, BCl2-, SiCl3-) evince even greater preference for cis geometries. QTAIM charge data suggest this is marked by lower positive charge on the metal in cis complexes. In contrast, complexes where X is a π donor and low in the trans influence series (X = OH-, F-, Cl-, I-) prefer trans geometries to varying degrees. QTAIM calculations indicate that this arises because the cis complexes are destabilized by distortions of the electron density in the M-X bonds. This can be viewed conceptually as resulting from repulsions between lone pair electrons on the ligands. Complexes where the X ligands are moderately trans-influencing and can interact conjugatively (CN-, NC-, NO2-, C≡CH-) prefer trans geometries because they combine destabilization of cis geometries with enhanced stabilization of trans geometries resulting from conjugation.
