Catalysis by gold has rapidly become a hot topic in chemistry, with a new discovery being
made almost every week. Gold is equally effective as a heterogeneous or a homogeneous …

Transition-metal catalysts containing gold present new opportunities for chemical synthesis,
and it is therefore not surprising that these complexes are beginning to capture the attention …

Despite the ubiquity of metallic gold (Au) in popular culture, its deployment in homogeneous
catalysis has only recently undergone widespread investigation. In the past decade, and …

An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) contains a carbene carbon incorporated in a nitrogen-
