ESR observation of the formation of an Au(II) complex in zeolite Y.
Herein we communicate the first time observation of an Au(II) complex stabilized in a zeolite Y supercage, as evidenced by electron spin resonance (ESR); confinement in the zeolite pores obviously stabilizes this unusual oxidation state and prevents it from undergoing disproportionation.
