Since two decades , tremendous progresses were made in gold chemistry. Most of them relate to the +I oxidation state which provides stable complexes with catalytic and pharmaceutical properties. Despite a more challenging chemistry, gold(III) complexes have recently attracted more and more attention as potential surrogates of gold(I) complexes. This is particularly true in the field of enantioselective catalysis, where the gold(III) complexes are expected to provide better asymmetric inductions. Read more about the syntheses and the applications of all well‐defined chiral gold(III) complexes described during the last fifteen years in the Minireview by A. Blanc, P. de Frémont et al. on page 9218 ff.
