In this contribution, we provide an overview of the main avenues that have emerged in gold
coordination chemistry during the last years. The unique properties of gold have motivated …

For more than a decade the innovative field of homogeneous catalysis by gold was
dominated by the interaction of the substrate molecule with one gold center, in most cases in …

Luminescent platinum complexes have attractive chemical and photophysical properties
such as high stability, emission in the visible region, high emission quantum yields and long …

Cationic gold complexes in which gold is bound to a formally divalent carbon atom, typically
formulated as gold carbenes or α-metallocarbenium ions, have been widely invoked in a …

Many mechanistically intriguing reactions have been developed in the last decade using
gold (I) as catalyst. Here we review the main mechanistic proposals in gold-catalysed …

This Review showcases the ability of bi‐and tridentate ligands to stabilize gold in high
oxidation states through the formation of mono‐and biscyclometalated gold (III) complexes …
