The interaction between transition metals and ligands is important for catalytic reactions. The ligands are largely dominated by the covalent X-type (hydride, alkyl and halogen) and/or dative L-type ligands (e.g., P, N, CO, olefin, etc.). Therefore, the interaction of the Z-type ligands (B, Al and Si, etc.) with transition metals is emerging as a new concept for the reactivity of the metal center. Recently, we developed the synthesis of the gold complex Au(DPX (DPB=diphosphine-borane) featuring the Z-type ligand, and their catalyti
