The question raised in the title of this progress report is answered point for point with an emphatic “yes”: Ranging from metallic gold, via clusters of gold atoms in low valence states, compounds of Au I , Au II , Au III , and Au V , organogold derivatives, ylide and carbene complexes, to the catalytic activity of gold it embraces a long‐neglected area of chemistry holding promise of many a discovery.
