Counter revolution: Most homogeneous gold-catalyzed transformations employ gold(I) complexes with weakly coordinating anions, which, their remarkable activity notwithstanding, lack stability at higher temperatures. Shi et al. have described the synthesis of simple phosphine-based gold(I) complexes with triazolates as counter ions. The compounds are highly thermostable and good catalysts for intermolecular hydroaminations.
