Over the past decade the organometallic chemistry of gold (III) has seen remarkable
advances. This includes the synthesis of the first examples of several compound classes that …

For a while, the reactivity of gold complexes was largely dominated by their Lewis acid
behavior. In contrast to the other transition metals, the elementary steps of organometallic …

The construction of C–C and C–X (X= hetero atom) bonds is the core aspect for the
assembly of molecules. In this regard, late transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling …

Thanks to rational ligand design, the first gold (I) complexes to undergo oxidative addition of
aryl iodides were discovered. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and is general …

An efficient method for chemoselective cysteine arylation of unprotected peptides and
proteins using Au (III) organometallic complexes is reported. The bioconjugation reactions …

Transition‐metal‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions are central to many organic synthesis
methodologies. Traditionally, Pd, Ni, Cu, and Fe catalysts are used to promote these …

Remarkable strategies for constructing clay-based catalysts are critically overviewed. Clay
minerals provide distinct nanometer-scaled layers and interlayers for engineering them as …

Taking advantage of phosphine chelation, direct evidence for oxidative addition of Csp2–X
bonds (X= I, Br) to a single gold atom is reported. NMR studies and DFT calculations provide …

The oxidative addition of strained C C bonds (biphenylene, benzocyclobutenone) to DPCb
(diphosphino‐carborane) gold (I) complexes is reported. The resulting cationic organogold …

Abstract Oxidant‐free Au (I)/Au (III) catalysis can still be regarded as a young and promising
chemistry. Because the first examples of gold catalysis were limited to the activation and …
