Sculptures showing Lord Vishnu of Hindu mythology performing the celestial wedding of Goddess Meenakshi with Lord Sundareswarar. These three Gods have been related in that order to gold catalysis, C−H activation and regioselectivity, the three underlying themes of this Review. An update about different types of gold catalysts, from simple to sophisticated ones, on C−H bond reactions and their regiochemical outcome together with catalytic applications of Au(I)‐ and Au(III)‐species for the regio‐ and site‐selective activation of challenging C−H bonds and potential applications in selective C−H bond activation is given in the Review article by C. Praveen, A. Dupeux and V. Michelet on page 10495 ff.
