Chloro(dimethylphenylphosphine)gold - Introduction

Dimethylphenylphosphine gold chloride (DMPPAuCl) is an organic Gold complex with the chemical formula [(CH3)2C6H3P]AuCl. Its properties are as follows:

1. Appearance: DMPPAuCl is light yellow to yellow crystal powder.
2. Solubility: It is soluble in organic solvents, such as dichloromethane and tetrahydrofuran, but insoluble in water.
3. Stability: The complex is relatively stable in a dry non-air atmosphere, but it is easy to decompose in humidity and air.

The main uses of DMPPAuCl are as follows:

1. Catalyst: It can be used as an organic gold catalyst, and has application potential in the fields of asymmetric synthesis, cyclization reaction, oxidation reaction and coupling reaction.
2. Fluorescent probe: studies have found that DMPPAuCl can be used to detect metal ions and biological molecules under certain conditions, so it also has application prospects in fluorescent probes.
3. Material chemistry: Due to the structural characteristics of DMPPAuCl, it has also been widely used in the fields of coordination modification, nanomaterial synthesis and organic Gold chemistry.

In the production method, DMPPAuCl is usually obtained by reacting gold chloride with dimethylphenylphosphine. Specifically, gold chloride can be reacted with dimethylphenylphosphine in an appropriate solvent to obtain the target product after crystallization and purification steps.

Regarding safety information, DMPPAuCl is an organic Gold compound, and the following safety precautions should be noted:

1. Toxicity: The compound may be toxic to human body, should avoid inhalation or contact with skin, eyes, etc.
2. Combustibility: DMPPAuCl is a combustible substance and should be avoided in contact with open flames or high temperatures.
3. Storage and handling: It should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, and avoid contact with oxidants, acids, alkalis and other substances.

Since DMPPAuCl is a specialized compound, proper use and handling of DMPPAuCl requires knowledge of relevant laboratory techniques and safety. Before use, it is recommended to consult more relevant literature or consult a professional.
