A powerful new oxidation agent towards metallic gold powder: N,N′-dimethylperhydrodiazepine-2,3-dithione (D) bis(diiodine). Synthesis and X-ray structure of [AuDI2]I3
Abstract
The oxidation of gold powder by a new safe and powerful oxidising reagent, the bis-diiodine adduct of N,N′-dimethylperhydrodiazepine-2,3-dithione (D), to produce [AuI2D]I3 under ambient conditions is described.
