Gold compounds are compounds by the element gold (Au). Although gold is the most noble of the noble metals , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] it still forms many diverse compounds. The oxidation state of gold in its compounds ranges from −1 to +5, but Au(I) and Au(III) dominate its chemistry.
Nitratoauric acid, hydrogen tetranitratoaurate, or simply called gold(III) nitrate is a crystalline gold compound that forms the trihydrate, HAu(NO 3) 4 ·3H 2 O or more correctly H 5 O 2 Au(NO 3) 4 ·H 2 O. [3] [2] This compound is an intermediate in the process of extracting gold. [4] In older literature it is also known as aurinitric acid. [5]
Sodium aurothiomalate (INN, known in the United States as gold sodium thiomalate) is a gold compound that is used for its immunosuppressive anti-rheumatic effects. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Along with an orally-administered gold salt, auranofin , it is one of only two gold compounds currently employed in modern medicine.
Organogold chemistry is the study of compounds containing gold–carbon bonds. They are studied in academic research, but have not received widespread use otherwise. The dominant oxidation states for organogold compounds are I with coordination number 2 and a linear molecular geometry and III with CN = 4 and a square planar molecular geometry.
Gold(III) chloride is the starting point for the chemical synthesis of many other gold compounds. For example, the reaction with potassium cyanide produces the water-soluble complex, K[Au(CN) 4]: [20] AuCl 3 + 4 KCN → K[Au(CN) 4] + 3 KCl. Gold(III) fluoride can be also produced from gold(III) chloride by reacting it with bromine trifluoride. [15]

Gold(I) sulfide, Au 2 S. Formed by reaction of hydrogen sulfide with gold(I) compounds. Gold(III) sulfide, Au 2 S 3, claimed material but unsubstantiated. Gold tellurides: Au 2 Te 3, Au 3 Te 5, and AuTe 2 (approximate formulas) are known as non-stoichiometric compounds. They show metallic conductivity. Au 3 Te 5 is a superconductor at 1.62 K. [1]
