Technical Description of the Process
An Aqua Regia solution of metallic gold is prepared. This
solution contains clusters of gold chlorides of random size and degrees of
aggregation. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to the solution. The acid
is evaporated with a large excess of common salt (NaCl, 20:1 moles Na to
moles Au) to moist salts. Addition of acid and evaporation is carried-out
repeatedly. The addition of NaCl allows the eventual formation of
NaAuCl4, after all HNO3 is removed from the solution.
The sodium, like gold, has only one unpaired ‘s’ electron and,
accordingly, tends to form clusters of at least two atoms. The sodium,
however, does not orbitally overlap the gold atom in the ‘d’ band, as it has
no ‘d’ electrons, resulting in a surface reaction between the sodium atoms
and the gold atoms. This results in a weakening of the gold-gold cluster
stability and causes the eventual formation of a sodium-gold linear bond
with a weakened d orbital activity in the individual gold atoms. The
sodium-gold compound, formed by repeated evaporation to salts, will
provide a chloride of sodium-gold. In these salts the sodium and gold are
believed to be charged positive, i.e., have lost electrons: and the chlorine
is negative, i.e., has gained electrons. When the salts are dissolved in
water, the pH slowly adjusted to neutral, full aquation of the sodium-gold
diatom will slowly occur and chloride is removed from the complex.
Chemical reduction of the sodium-gold solution results in the formation
of a sodium auride (NaAu). Continued aquation results in disassociation
of the gold atom from the sodium and the eventual formation of a
protonated auride of gold as a grey precipitate. Subsequent annealing
produces the newly patented G-ORME.
The above general description for the preparation of G-ORME
from commercially available metallic gold is equally applicable to the
preparation of ORMEs from the remaining Transition metals through
reaction with nitric oxide (NO) gas. The Transition metals include
platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, and osmium. Nitric
oxide is unique in that it possesses the necessary chemical potential as
well as the single unpaired electron.
