Abstract
X-ray photoelectron spectra, pseudohalide complexes of gold (III), linkage isomerism Core binding energies of metals in the isomeric (Ph3As) 2Pd (NCS) 2 and (Ph3As) 2Pd (SCN) 2, and in [AsPh4] [AuX4] (X = CN-, tetrazolate, Cl-, N3 -) are reported. S- and N-Bonding mode can be distinguished in accord with semiemperical MO-calculations. XPS-results are correlated with Mößbauer spectra and the metal-cyanide and metal-tetrazolate bonds are discussed.
