This critical review covers the recent development of the catalytic properties of gold in the selective oxidation of organic compounds, highlighting the exciting contribution to the art of catalysis. The unique, outstanding properties of nanometre-scale particles of gold, a biocompatible non-toxic metal, have allowed the development of a new generation of stable and selective catalysts for the conversion of many organic feedstocks to valuable chemicals. A critical discussion of the results of different research groups is presented along with attempts to correlate the catalytic properties with catalyst morphology in non-equivalent series of experiments. Particular emphasis has been given to the international efforts towards optimised synthesis of products of industrial appeal such as propylene oxide, vinyl acetate monomer, cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone, gluconic acid and glyceric acid (168 references).
这篇综述涵盖了金在有机化合物选择性氧化中催化性能的最新进展，突出了其对催化领域的重要贡献。金作为一种生物相容性无毒金属，其纳米级颗粒具有独特、优异的性能，这使得新一代稳定且选择性高的催化剂得以开发，用于将多种有机原料转化为有价值的化学品。本文对不同研究小组的结果进行了批判性讨论，并尝试在一系列非等效实验中将催化性能与催化剂形态相关联。特别强调了国际上为优化合成具有工业吸引力的产品（如环氧丙烷、醋酸乙烯酯单体、环己醇/环己酮、葡萄糖酸和甘油酸）所做的努力（参考文献168篇）。
