Abstract
X-ray photoelectron spectra of homovalent binuclear gold complexes with oxi dation states of + I, + II, + III as well as heterovalent gold(I)-gold(III) species were obtained. The binding energies for the gold 4f peaks increase as the gold oxidation state increases. Residual gas analysis showed that t he gold(I)-gold(III) heterovalent compound is photoreduced to a homovalent gold(I) compound. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
