Gold has been used for coinage, jewelry, and other arts for thousands of years due to its
stability in air. Catalytic researchers were long misled by this common sense until the …

Gold has long held the fascination of society because of its inertness making it useful for
many applications including as jewelry and as interconnects in microelectronics. A …

Synthetic chemists are constantly challenged to consider more environmentally benign
methods for generation of the desired target molecules. 1 Recently, there has been an …

Since the beginning of the millennium the field of gold catalysis has emerged as one of the
top subjects in organic chemistry. Analysis of the chemical databases clearly documents this …

Catalysis by gold has become one of the most studied new topics in chemistry in recent
years, and yet for many gold acting as a catalyst is, perhaps, a most unlikely possibility since …

Gold has traditionally been regarded as inactive as a catalytic metal. However, the advent of
nanoparticulate gold on high surface area oxide supports has demonstrated its high catalytic …

Gold has accompanied mankind from the very early days; no name of a chemist is
associated with the discovery of the element gold. It is probably the only chemical element …

Gold is often considered the most inert of all metals. In fact, it is a widely held belief instilled
in us from the earliest days in our school chemistry laboratories that gold is amongst the …

Catalysis by gold is one of the fastest growing subjects in chemical science today and is also
an interesting topic of research in nanotechnology. In this article, we focus on the early …
