For centuries, gold had been considered a precious, purely decorative inert metal. It was not
until 1986 that Ito and Hayashi described the first application of gold (I) in homogeneous …

Synthetic cost and long-term stability remain two of the most challenging barriers for the
utilization of redox-active organic molecules in redox flow batteries for grid-scale energy …

A general method for the synthesis of α‐substituted vinyl sulfones makes use of a
combination of a triazole gold complex and gallium triflate. This efficient C S bond …

Gold catalysis has, over the past decades, provided innovative organic transformations
under mild conditions with high chemoselectivities. It receives steadily growing attention …

Stability and reactivity have been recognized as some critical issues for gold (I) catalysts.
Such issues can be well-circumvented by anchoring the gold (I) complex onto the …

Herein, we synthesized and characterized through NMR and X-ray techniques a new set of
[(NHC)-Au-X] complexes (NHC= 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene) …

While gold-catalyzed homopropargyl alcohol cyclization is a known process, a triazole-gold
catalyst prevented the intramolecular cyclization in the presence of terminal alkynes. As a …

The first catalytic alkyne hydroboration of propargyl amine boranecarbonitriles is
accomplished with triazole‐AuI complexes. While the typical [L‐Au]+ species decomposes …

Using a combination of triazole-gold (TA-Au) and copper catalysts, the substituted furan was
achieved in one pot through a three-step reaction cascade. The reaction tolerates a large …
