Gold(I) chloride (Cat No.: M051588), also known as aurous chloride, is a yellow crystalline compound consisting of gold in the +1 oxidation state and a chloride ion. It is sensitive to light and air, often used in organic synthesis, catalysis, and materials science. AuCl serves as a precursor for other gold compounds and complexes, especially in homogeneous gold catalysis. Its ability to activate alkynes and stabilize carbocation intermediates makes it valuable in fine chemical production, nanotechnology, and research in organometallic and coordination chemistry.
