In our Article we described the preparation and observation in situ of a complex of the type [Au(aryl)2Cl(PPh3)], which is similar to a series of cyclometallated Au(III) complexes that undergo aryl–aryl and aryl–alkyl reductive elimination reported in two papers that we inadvertently omitted from our reference list:
