摘要
The mechanism of the reactions of methane with the gold(III) complexes [AuClx(H2O)(4-x)](3-x) (x = 2, 3, or 4) was studied by the DFT/PBE method with the SBK basis set. High activation barriers obtained for the reactions of [AuCl4]- and [Au(H2O)Cl-3] with methane suggest these reactions cannot proceed under mild conditions. The reaction of the [Au(H2O)(2)Cl-2](+) complex with methane has a rather low energy barrier and proceeds through the formation of an intermediate complex.
