Description

Gold is a transition metal that is chemically inert and non-toxic. It can be used as a catalyst, electrode, or semiconductor in various techniques. Gold(III) chloride trihydrate has been used as a pesticide and an extractant for nitrocellulose membranes. Gold(III) chloride trihydrate has also been shown to have cancer-fighting properties and is currently being studied for its use in the treatment of prostate cancer. Gold(III) chloride trihydrate has also been used in microscopy and optical studies and has shown to have bioelectrochemical properties. The transport mechanism of gold(III) chloride trihydrate is not yet fully understood, but it may be due to the transport of charged particles on the surface of the molecule. Gold(III) chloride trihydrate has also been used for photocatalytic activity, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and transport properties with buffers.
