“Noble” metals actually have a rich and an valuable chemistry

Noble metals

Review by Pyykkö

High speed of electrons near the nucleus mass increase

stabilization and contraction

The contraction of the 6s orbital unique chemical properties of Au.

Spectroscopic methods for probing electronic wavefunction:

a) Stark effect b) Zeeman effect c) Hyperfine interactions 197Au(I=3/2)

General Comment: All high-level predictions of (X1+) are good. Why?

1) Simple description of X1+: Au+(5d10)F-(3p6) single Slater determinant2) notstronglydependent on relativistic effects (only valence electrons)
