Abstract
Some of the unique features of gold catalysis were described in Part 1. Further examples of reactions catalysed by supported transition metal oxides are given in this second part. These include both selective and complete oxidation of hydrocarbons and a number of hydrogenation reactions. In fact, gold has now been demonstrated to be the element of choice for some catalytic reactions. As a result, both chemical processing and environmental applications are foreseen for supported gold catalyst systems. In this, the second of two articles, the overall current state of knowledge on gold catalysis is reviewed and some early examples of homogeneous gold catalysis, in solution, assessed.
