This Review showcases the ability of bi‐ and tridentate ligands to stabilize gold in high oxidation states through the formation of mono‐ and biscyclometalated gold(III) complexes. In‐depth studies on the synthesis, intrinsic reactivity, catalytic relevance, and photophysical properties of stabilized gold(III) species have been carried out, setting the stage for exciting developments in various research areas, such as catalysis, inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, ligand design, and materials science.
