要旨

Gold is known to be the noblest of all metals because of the relativistic stabilization of its outer 6s orbital. The relativistic effects also lead to destabilization of the 5d orbitals, reducing the 6s-5d energy gap and enhancing s-d hybridization. Therefore, in contrast to its lighter congeners, gold exhibits significant covalent bonding characters and a remarkable repertoire of chemistry, which are increasingly being exploited in catalysis and nanotechnology. This Perspective presents a brief account of recent experimental efforts in the author's laboratory using photoelectron spectroscopy that lead to direct observations of covalent bonding in several relatively simple Au compounds: Au oxides (AuO− and AuO2−), sulfides (AuS− and AuS2−), and the well-known Au(CN)2− complex. In a series of Au–Si and Au–B mixed clusters, it has also been found that gold atoms behave like H atoms, forming auro-silicon and auro-boron clusters with strong covalent bonding, analogous to the corresponding silicon and boron hydrides, such as the tetrahedral auro-silane (SiAu4) versus silane (SiH4).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
