General synthesis procedure

There are different routes to synthesize complexes with reactive cations.

The direct way is a methathesis reaction. The reaction is activated by ultrasonication over 48 h at room temperature:

cu ag au synthese 1

 

To create a complex with a very weak ligand it is neccesary to start from a "start material“:

cu ag au synthese 2

 

A  further method to synthesize the complex is via ligand abstraction. The syntheses starting with Al(ORF)3 must be cooled to -10°C and instead of ultravibration the mixture is stirred for 12 h:

cu ag au synthese 3
