Abstract

The question raised in the title of this progress report is answered point for point with an emphatic “yes”: Ranging from metallic gold, via clusters of gold atoms in low valence states, compounds of AuI, AuII, AuIII, and AuV, organogold derivatives, ylide and carbene complexes, to the catalytic activity of gold it embraces a long‐neglected area of chemistry holding promise of many a discovery.
