This critical review intends to familiarize the reader with the essence of pi-acid catalysis, in particular with reactions or reaction cascades effected by gold and platinum complexes. Even though materialized in apparently different reactivity modes, such noble metal catalyzed processes can be easily rationalized on the basis of a uniform mechanistic scheme that is outlined in detail. The resulting increase in molecular complexity is illustrated by selected natural product total syntheses and the formation of various intricate non-natural compounds (106 references).
这篇评论文章旨在让读者熟悉 π-酸催化的本质，特别是金和铂配合物所引发的反应或反应级联。尽管这些贵金属催化过程表现出明显不同的反应性模式，但可以基于概述的统一机理方案来轻松合理化这些过程。通过选择的天然产物全合成和各种复杂的非天然化合物的形成（106 个参考文献）来说明所得到的分子复杂性的增加。
