Chloro(trimethylphosphine)gold(I) (Cat No.: M076491) is a coordination complex composed of a gold(I) center bonded to a chloride ion and a trimethylphosphine ligand. This white to pale yellow solid is air-stable and soluble in organic solvents, making it a valuable reagent in organometallic and catalytic chemistry. It serves as a precursor in the synthesis of gold-based catalysts and complexes used in homogeneous catalysis, particularly in reactions involving alkynes and arenes. Its linear geometry and soft ligand coordination are characteristic of gold(I) species.
