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 …

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 …

The mechanism of gold-catalyzed coupling of arenes with aryltrimethylsilanes has been
investigated, employing an improved precatalyst (thtAuBr3) to facilitate kinetic analysis. In …

The intramolecular gold-catalyzed arylation of arenes by aryl-trimethylsilanes has been
investigated from both mechanistic and preparative aspects. The reaction generates 5-to 9 …

Over the last 5–10 years, gold (III) catalysis has developed rapidly. It often shows
complementary if not unique features compared to gold (I) catalysis. While recent work has …

The synthesis and characterization of the first gold (III)–arene complexes are described. Well-
defined (P, C)-cyclometalated gold (III)–aryl complexes were prepared and characterized by …

New microwave methods were developed for the synthesis of cationic and neutral gold (III)
complexes. Six examples of [AuCl2 (N–N)][PF6], containing 2, 2′-bipyridine-type ligands …

π Hydrocarbons are widespread ligands and substrates in transition metal chemistry.
Although gold (III) has been known for some time to efficiently activate alkenes and alkynes …

Selective Au–C bond cleavage and arene–C–H activation in (C^ N^ C) Au (III) pincer
complexes are reversible, leading to a solvent-dependent proton shuttling process. The …

The gold (III) methoxide complex (C∧ N∧ C) AuOMe (1) reacts with tris (p-tolyl) phosphine
in benzene at room temperature under O abstraction to give the methylgold product (C∧ …
