Gold Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Although gold as been little used in heterogeneous catalysis hitherto, the metal shows some very interesting properties which ensure continued study of it for this field. In particular its remarkably high selectivity in some reactions and striking activity in oxygen transfer catalysis have received significant attention.
