Chloro(triethylphosphine)gold(I) (Cat No.: M079782) is a coordination complex consisting of a gold(I) center bonded linearly to a chloride ion and a triethylphosphine ligand. This air-stable, pale yellow solid is soluble in organic solvents and widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of gold-based catalysts and organometallic compounds. Its soft gold(I) center readily engages in ligand exchange and coordination with π-systems, making it valuable in homogeneous catalysis, particularly in organic transformations such as alkyne activation, cycloisomerizations, and cross-coupling reactions.
