Stanford Chemicals supplies high purity Gold (III) chloride, Hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III), hydrate, Sodium tetrachloroaurate(III), hydrate…
This section lists some binary compounds with halogens (known as halides), oxygen (known as oxides), hydrogen (known as hydrides), and some other compounds of gold. For each compound, a formal oxidation number for gold is given, but the usefulness of this number is limited for p-block elements in particular. Based upon that oxidation number, an electronic configuration is also given but note that for more exotic compounds you should view this as a guide only.
In compounds of gold (where known), the most common oxidation numbers of gold are:
