This paper investigates the interactions between copper(I), silver(I), and gold(I) metals and pi-ligands, showing that these interactions are influenced by the electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents of the ancillary ligands.
The copper(I), silver(I), and gold(I) metals bind pi-ligands by sigma-bonding and pi-back bonding interactions. These interactions were investigated using bidentate ancillary ligands with electron donating and withdrawing substituents. The pi-ligands span from ethylene to larger terminal and internal alkenes and alkynes. Results of X-ray crystallography, NMR, and IR spectroscopy and gas phase experiments show that the binding energies increase in the order Ag
