A series of heterobimetalliccomplexes containing three‐center, two‐electron Au−H−Cu bonds have been prepared from addition of a parent gold hydride to a bent d10 copper(I) fragment. These highly unusual heterobimetalliccomplexes represent a missing link in the widely investigated series of neutral and cationic coinage metal hydride complexes containing Cu−H−Cu and M−H−M+ moieties (M=Cu, Ag).

Reduction of co-ordinated carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide via protonation by thiols and other Brønsted acids promoted by Ni-systems: a contribution to the understanding of the mode of action of the enzyme carbon monoxide dehydrogenase
Carbon dioxide co-ordinated to Ni0 is easily reduced to bound carbonmonoxide by R–SH (R = H, alkyl, benzyl, phenyl, and substituted phenyl) and other Brønsted acids, providing a reasonable model for the Ni-containing enzyme carbonmonoxidedehydrogenase.
Mechanism of formation of the peroxocarbonate complex (PCy3)2Ni(CO4) from solid (PCy3)2Ni(CO2) and dioxygen: an example of solid-state metallorganic reaction involving CO2 deco-ordination and reinsertion into the OO bond of (PCy3)2Ni(O2). Reactivity of the peroxocarbonate complex towards olefins in the solid state and in solution
Solid (PCY3)(2)Ni(CO2) (1) reacts with dioxygen to afford the peroxocarbonate Complex (PCY3)(2)Ni(CO2) (3). The use of labelled (CO2)-C-13, (CO2-)-O-18 O-18(2), coupled with a FTIR study of both the gas-phase in equilibrium with the solid and the solid resulting complex, allows to propose the reaction mechanism that implies CO2 deco-ordination, O-2, co-ordination, and CO2 insertion into the O-O bond of the newly formed, reactive (PCy3)(2)Ni(O-2) complex 2. A normal mode analysis substantiates the band assignment and the proposed mechanism. Peroxocarbonate (3) exhibits a C-13 resonance at 166.6 ppm and a single P-31 signal at 43.1 ppm below 200 K. The reactivity of the peroxo-group as one-oxygen transfer agent prevents the spectroscopic characterisation of 3 in solution at room temperature. An out-of-sphere phosphine can be easily oxidised. A gaseous olefin. mono-ene (ethylene) or diene (allene), added to 3. makes easier the deco-ordination process of one phosphine ligand, that is then oxidised to phosphine oxide. The gaseous olefin itself is not oxidised until free phosphine is present in the medium. In solution, styrene is oxidised through a two or one-oxygen transfer pathway, according to the reaction condition. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science.
