Oxidative addition, transmetalation, and reductive elimination at a 2,2'-bipyridyl-ligated gold center

Three-coordinate bipyridyl complexes of gold, [(κ2-bipy)Au-(η2-C2H4)][NTf2], are readily accessed by direct reaction of 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), or its derivatives, with the homoleptic gold ethylene complex [Au(C2H4)3][NTf2]. The cheap and readily available bipyridyl ligands facilitate oxidative addi...
