Ionic liquids with chlorometallate anions may not have been the first ionic liquids, however, it
was their development that lead to the recognition that ionic liquids are a distinct, and useful …

It has been made clear over the past 5 years that a fundamental understanding of the
interfacial areas surround- ing ionic liquids (ILs) will be crucial to the successful scaleup and …

Ionic liquid surfaces can become electrically charged during X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy experiments, due to the flux of photoelectrons leaving the surface. This causes …

High-valent Au (III) complexes have attracted much attention as catalysts in many reactions.
Nevertheless Au (III) catalysts suffer from instability of the oxidized metal complexes during …

Zwitterionic imidazolium salts bearing 3-sulfonatopropyl, and 2-pyridyl, 2-picolyl, and 2-
pyridylethyl substituents have been synthesized and employed as precursors for the …

A novel water-soluble Au (III)-NHC complex has been synthesized and successfully applied
in the intramolecular cyclization of γ-alkynoic acids into enol-lactones under biphasic …

A tandem gold (I)-catalyzed aminocylization/fluorination and a two-step, one-pot gold (III)-
catalyzed cyclization/electrophilic fluorination provide a convenient and general method for …

There is currently a rapidly growing interest in the homogeneous catalysis of organic
transformations by gold compounds. In a large number of specific studies, a wide variety of …

A one-phase and/or two-phase method were used to prepare the stable ionic liquid-based
nanofluids containing same volume fraction but different sizes or surface states of gold …

In this contribution, the application of gold-based catalysts in the hydrofunctionalization
reactions of alkynes and allenes with carboxylic acids is comprehensively reviewed. Both …
