Homogeneous catalysis by gold

  • Published:
Gold Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A comprehensive overview in the field of homogeneous catalysis by gold is given and the basic principles are discussed. It is also highlighted where homogeneous gold catalysts are already superior to other catalysts and where future possibilities for advantageous use of homogeneous gold catalysts exist.

Additional information

A. Stephen K. Hashmi is professor of organic chemistry at the Universität Stuttgart. He carried out his Diploma and PhD with Professor G. Szeimies at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in the field of strained organic compounds such as bicyclobutanes and propellanes. His postdoctorate research with Professor B. M. Trost at Stanford University, California, covered transition metal catalysis, specifically then enyne metathesis. His Habilitation with Prof. J. Mulzer at the Freie Universität Berlin, the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt and the Universität Wien, Austria, as well as visits at the University of Tasmania, Australia, and the Universität Marburg focused on both stoichiometric organometallic chemistry and transition metal catalysed organic reactions, which are still the major topics in the group. Recently, activities in the field of bioorganometallic chemistry with enantiomerically pure metallacycloalkanes have been added.
