Gold Phosphide
Gold phosphides are inorganic compounds of gold and phosphorus. The only known gold phosphide is a metastable gold(I) polyphosphide with the formula . Older texts sometimes refer to a binary auric phosphide ; this hypothetical compound has not been verified by modern methods such as X-ray crystallography. Preparation Monoclinic is produced by direct reaction between metallic gold and red phosphorus at high temperatures over multiple days. The reaction produced only , with no other compounds observed across a wide variety of Au:P atom ratios. Gold(III) phosphide was purportedly prepared by the direct reaction of spongy gold and phosphorus or by passing phosphine into a solution of auric chloride in ether or alcohol: : Properties is claimed to decompose in air or with . It has a monoclinic crystal structure. Related A mixed anion phosphide iodide, , is known to possess a trigonal In crystallography, the hexagonal crystal family is one of the six crystal family, crystal ...

Inorganic Compound
An inorganic compound is typically a chemical compound that lacks carbon–hydrogen bondsthat is, a compound that is not an organic compound. The study of inorganic compounds is a subfield of chemistry known as ''inorganic chemistry''. Inorganic compounds comprise most of the Earth's crust, although the compositions of the deep Mantle (geology), mantle remain active areas of investigation. All allotropes (structurally different pure forms of an element) and some simple carbon compounds are often considered inorganic. Examples include the allotropes of carbon (graphite, diamond, buckminsterfullerene, graphene, etc.), carbon monoxide , carbon dioxide , carbides, and salt (chemistry), salts of inorganic anions such as carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, thiocyanates, isothiocyanates, etc. Many of these are normal parts of mostly organic systems, including organisms; describing a chemical as inorganic does not necessarily mean that it cannot occur within life, living things.

Auric Chloride
Gold(III) chloride, traditionally called auric chloride, is an inorganic compound of gold and chlorine with the molecular formula . The "III" in the name indicates that the gold has an oxidation state of +3, typical for many gold compounds. It has two forms, the monohydrate (AuCl3·H2O) and the anhydrous form, which are both hygroscopic and light-sensitive solids. This compound is a Dimer (chemistry), dimer of . This compound has a few uses, such as an oxidizing agent and for Catalysis, catalyzing various Organic chemistry, organic reactions. Structure exists as a bridging ligand, chloride-bridged Wiktionary:dimer, dimer both as a solid and vapour, at least at low temperatures. Gold(III) bromide behaves analogously. The structure is similar to that of iodine(III) chloride. Each gold center is square planar in gold(III) chloride, which is typical of a metal complex with a d electron count, d8 electron count. The bonding in is considered somewhat covalent bond, covalent. Prop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
