Aurophilicity

<h2 id="role-in-self-assembly">Role in self-assembly</h2> <p>The similarity in strength between hydrogen bonding and aurophilic interaction has proven to be a convenient tool in the field of <a href="/facts/Polymer/eF32E50K">polymer</a> chemistry. Much research has been conducted on self-assembling <a href="/facts/Supramolecular/wwUfD0fk">supramolecular</a> structures, both those that aggregate by aurophilicity alone and those that contain both aurophilic and hydrogen-bonding interactions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> An important and exploitable property of aurophilic interactions relevant to their supramolecular chemistry is that while both inter- and intramolecular interactions are possible, intermolecular aurophilic linkages are comparatively weak and easily broken by <a href="/facts/Solvent/LoMPMz8S">solvation</a>; most complexes that exhibit intramolecular aurophilic interactions retain such moieties in solution.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Schmidbaur, Hubert (2000).
