Square way to heaven : As a result of their square‐planar geometry, the reactive site of gold(III) complexes is much closer to the ancillary ligands. This offers new perspectives in asymmetric catalysis, as recently evidenced by the groups of Wong and Toste with well‐defined chiral complexes (see scheme).
