The chemistry of (P, C)-cyclometalated complexes derived from naphthyl phosphines [Np (P,
C) M] is presented and analysed in this review. The three main synthetic approaches …

The successful realization of gold‐catalyzed chain‐walking reactions, facilitated by ligand‐
enabled Au (I)/Au (III) redox catalysis, has been reported for the first time. This breakthrough …

Exploration of elementary reactions in organometallic catalysis is an important method with
which to discover new reactions. In this article, we report a gold (I)‐catalyzed iodo …

The classical Au (I)/Au (III) redox couple chemistry has been limited to constructing C–C and
C–X bonds, and thus, the exploration of the elementary reaction of gold redox coupling is …

Herein, we report the first gold‐catalyzed 1, 2‐dicarbofunctionalization of alkynes using
organohalides as non‐prefunctionalized coupling partners. The mechanism of the reaction …

Compared to the well-established transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, Au
(I)/Au (III)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have lagged behind. Despite some …

Phosphine-boranes do not promote oxidative addition of acyl chlorides to gold, but the
phosphine-borane gold triflimide complex [iPr2P (o-C6H4) BCy2] AuNTf2 was found to …

Transition metal‐catalyzed Suzuki and Heck reactions are two of the most common carbon‐
carbon bond formation reactions. Gold, unlike other transition metals (Pd, Ni, and Cu), offers …

(P, C)-cyclometalated Au (III) complexes have shown remarkable ability to catalyze the
intermolecular hydroarylation of alkynes. Evidence of an outer-sphere mechanism has been …

The regioselectivity of C− H functionalization is commonly achieved by directing groups,
electronic factors, or steric hindrance, which facilitate the identification of reaction sites …
