A common golden thread : The exact role of dinuclear gold species in catalysis has recently attracted considerable attention. Such well‐defined complexes can now be isolated and fully characterized and may assist in elucidating the exact action of gold centers in gold‐catalyzed reactions. In view of the latest developments in this area, possibilities now abound in terms of mechanistic exploration and novel catalyst design.
