Direct measurement of the Au-D bond
Abstract: Gold is historically thought of as an inert metal, and so investigation of its chemistry has been under-investigated. In 1986 it was shown that gold can be incredibly active as a catalyst when present as nanoparticles. The field has since grown rapidly, and the investigation of gold as a catalysts has increased hugely. Recently, the presence of hydrogen bonded to gold has been confirmed, and this study aims to use total neutron scattering to characterise this bond. Measurement using deuterium rather than hydrogen should be easier and allow determination of the bond length for the first time.
