Synthesis and Characterization of Gold Carbene Complexes
We have been used for the Pt catalyst of cathode electrode in fuel cell. Weak point of Pt electrode are easily deactivated by the CO poisoning which are producing in reaction at electrode. Recent, researchers have developed cathode electrode to avoid the CO poisoning in electrode using the Pt-alloy or another novel metal. We now report Au-carbene complexes as an Au-electrode precursor derived from the reaction of the carbene with the ClAu(PPh3) complex in THF/MeOH.
