Abstract

Mononuclear La₂O₃-supported Au^III complexes synthesised from Au^III(CH₃)₂(C₅H₇O₂) and characterised by X-ray absorption spectroscopy are highly active, stable CO oxidation catalysts at room temperature, demonstrating the importance of the support in stabilizing catalytically active gold species, which need not include zerovalent gold for high activity.
