“…This demonstrates that, although dinuclear gold(I) complexes with bridging ligands are often considered as deactivation pathways in catalytic cycles, they can also serve as catalysts themselves. [31] However, this field holds promise for further improvement; as the main drawback of these complexes is that formally, only half of the gold may be catalytically active.…”

Gold catalysis has emerged as a groundbreaking field in synthetic chemistry, revolutionizing numerous organic transformations. Despite the significant achieved advancements, the mechanistic understanding behind many gold‐catalyzed reactions remains elusive. This Concept article covers the so‐called “self‐activating” Au(I) complexes, sorting out their pivotal role in gold catalysis. We comment on how Au(I) complexes can undergo self‐activation, triggering diverse catalytic transformations without the need for external additives. The most important examples reported so far that underlie the catalytic activity of these species are discussed. This intrinsic reactivity represents a paradigm shift in gold catalysis, offering new avenues for the design of efficient and sustainable catalytic systems. Furthermore, we explore the factors influencing the stability, reactivity, and selectivity of these Au(I) complexes, providing insights into their synthetic utility and potential applications in synthesis. This area of research not only advances our fundamental understanding of gold catalysis but also paves the way for the development of novel catalytic strategies with broad implications in organic synthesis and the chemical industry.
