DOI: 10.1002/anie.200904805Gold chemistry has been experiencing a renaissance over the last thirty years because of the discovery of the unique properties of gold compounds and their applications in a variety of fields such as materials science, catalysis, and the life sciences. The book "Gold Chemistry", edited by Fabian Mohr, is an interesting collection of chapters divided in two main parts: chemistry of gold and current and future applications of gold derivatives. Mohr has assembled a body of very good scientists from all over the world, not just from those countries considered “historical” gold chemistry schools in Europe (mainly Germany and Spain) and the United States.
