The AuPPh3 fragment is isolobal with the hydrogen atom. Furthermore, analogs of the unstable CH5+, CH6 2+, and CH7 3+ ions can be prepared using AuPPh3 instead of H. Predict the structures of the AuPPh3 analogs of these ions, and suggest a reason for their stability. (Hint: see G. A. Olah, G. Rasul, Acc. Chem. Res. , 1997 , 25 , 56, and references therein.)
