Abstract
Gold coordination chemistry and catalysis involving unsaturated hydrocarbons such as olefins have experienced a remarkable growth during the last few decades. Despite the importance, isolable and well-characterized molecules with ethylene, the simplest and the most widely produced olefin, on gold are still limited. This review aims to cover features of, and strategies utilized to stabilize, gold-ethylene complexes and their diverse use in chemical transformations and homogeneous catalytic processes. Isolable and well-authenticated gold-ethylene complexes are important not only for structural, spectroscopic, and bonding studies but also as models for likely intermediates in gold mediated reactions of alkenes and gold-alkene species observed in the gas phase. There has also been development on AuI/III catalytic cycles. Nitrogen based ligands have been the most widely utilized ligand supports thus far for the successful stabilization of gold-ethylene adducts. Gold has a bright future in olefin chemistry and with ethylene.

Abstract
Bis- and tris-pyridyl borate ligands containing pyridyl donor arms, a methylated boron cap, and a fluorine-lined coordination pocket have been prepared and utilized in coinage metal chemistry. The tris(pyridyl)borate ligand has been synthesized using a convenient boron source, [NBu4][MeBF3]. These N-based ligands permitted the isolation of group 11 metal-ethylene complexes [MeB(6-(CF3)Py)3]M(C2H4) and [Me2B(6-(CF3)Py)2]M(C2H4) (M = Cu, Ag, Au). The gold complexes display the largest coordination-induced upfield shifts of the ethylene 13C resonance relative to that of the free ethylene in their NMR spectra, while the silver complexes show the smallest shift. Solid-state structures of five of these metal-ethylene complexes as well as the related free ligands were established by X-ray crystallography. Surprisingly, all three [MeB(6-(CF3)Py)3]M(C2H4) adopt the rare κ2 coordination mode rather than the typical κ3 coordination mode of facial capping tridentate ligands. Computational analyses indicate that κ2 coordination mode is favored over the κ3-mode in these coinage metal-ethylene complexes and point to the effects CF3-substituents have on κ2/κ3-energy difference. The M-C and M-N bond distances of [MeB(6-(CF3)Py)3]M(C2H4) follow the trend expected based on covalent radii of M(I) ions. The calculated ethylene-M interaction energy of κ2-[MeB(6-(CF3)Py)3]M(C2H4) indicated that the gold(I) forms the strongest interaction with ethylene. A comparison to the related poly(pyrazolyl)borates is also presented.

Abstract
Ethylene complexes of gold(i) have been stabilized by electron-rich, κ2-bound tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands. Large up-field shifts of olefinic carbon NMR resonances and relatively long C[double bond, length as m-dash]C distances of gold bound ethylene are indicative of significant Au(i) → ethylene π-backbonding relative to the analog supported by a weakly donating ligand, consistent with the computational data.

Abstract
Three- and four-membered rings, widespread motifs in nature and medicinal chemistry, have fascinated chemists ever since their discovery. However, due to energetic considerations, small rings are often difficult to assemble. In this regard, homogeneous gold catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool to construct these highly strained carbocycles. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of all the major advances and discoveries made in the gold-catalyzed synthesis of cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, cyclobutanes, cyclobutenes, and their corresponding heterocyclic or heterosubstituted analogs.

Abstract
Most of the synthetic chemical transformation reactions involve the use of different organic solvents. Unfortunately, some of these toxic solvents are used in chemical laboratory, industry and have been considered a very serious problem for the health, safety of workers and environmental damage through pollution. The purpose of green chemistry is to provide a path that reduces or eliminates the use of such hazardous toxic solvents. Therefore, the key factor of the green synthetic approach is to utilize renewable materials, nontoxic chemical and to perform the reactions under solvent-free conditions. In this review, we have discussed most recent literature survey on applications of solvent-free techniques in organic synthesis which would offer a new opportunity to a researcher to overcome the problem of using environmental harmful solvents.
