title: "The Golden Method": Electrochemical Synthesis Is an Efficient Route to Gold Complexes.
abstract: Gold compounds to be obtained by the direct electrochemical oxidation of a noble metal are reported. This achievement provides an alternative procedure to obtaining neutral gold compounds with potential medical or catalytic applications.
