title: The role of silver additives in gold-mediated C-H functionalisation.
abstract: The role of silver additives is examined in the context of gold-mediated functionalisation of aromatic C-H bonds. Doubt is cast on the commonly cited route of halide abstraction from gold and evidence of substrate activation is given.
