Abstract
The oxidative addition of C<inf>sp</inf><sup>2</sup>-Br or C <inf>sp</inf><sup>2</sup>-I bonds to gold(i) does not take place even under very favorable intramolecular conditions that could form five- or six-membered gold(iii) metallacycles. DFT calculations reveal that although this process could be feasible thermodynamically, it is kinetically very sluggish. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
