While several gold(I) complexes of the type (L)AuX (X = Cl, Br) are known to undergo oxidative addition of elemental chlorine and bromine (X2), respectively, to give the corresponding gold(III) complexes (L)AuX3, the addition of iodine to (iodo)gold(I) compounds is strongly ligand-dependent, suggest...
