Abstract:
Herein we report the syntheses, X-ray structures and photophysical studies of the dinuclear dimeric gold(i) complexes [ClAu(C6H5N)(PPh2)2]2 (1), [Au(C6H5N)(PPh2)2]2[SbF6]2 (2) and [Au(2,6-Me2C6H3N)(PPh2)2]2[SbF6]2 (4). We have used ligands with different substituents to see the effect of the substituents on the photophysical properties. All these complexes feature strong intramolecular AuAu interactions (2.7987-3.0056 Å) and were found to exhibit excellent luminescence properties with high quantum yields as well as different colors of emission.

Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:

Titration Calculations: Weak Acid - Strong Base
For the titration of 25.00 mL of 0.100 M CH3CO2H with 0.100 M NaOH, the reaction can be represented as:
Titration of a Weak Base with a Strong Acid
Using the ICE table and substituting the Kb value, we calculate the initial pH of 50 mL of 0.1 M ammonia to be 11.11. Addition of 25 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid to this solution of ammonia results in a buffer with an equal concentration of ammonia and ammonium ions. The pH of this buffer can be calculated by substituting these...
