Gold tetrachloroaurate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaAuCl₄. It is composed of the ions Na⁺ and AuCl₄^-. It exists in the anhydrous and dihydrate states. At room temperature, it exists as a golden-orange solid. The anhyrous and dihydrate forms are available commercially. ^[6]

Preparation[edit]

The conventional method of preparation of sodium tetrachloroaurate involves the addition of tetrachloroauric acid solution to sodium chloride or sodium carbonate to form a mixture. The mixture is stirred at 100° C, and then subjected to evaporation, cooling, crystallization, and drying to obtain the orange crystals of sodium tetrachloroaurate.^[7] ^[4]

${\ce {H[AuCl4] + NaCl -> Na[AuCl4] + HCl}}$

${\ce {2H[AuCl4] + Na2CO3 -> 2Na[AuCl4] + H2O + CO2}}$

However, more efficient preparation methods have been discovered recently. These are the addition of gold with sodium oxy-halogen salts and hydrochloric acid.^[7]

Uses[edit]

It is used in a wide range of applications. For example, it is used as a catalyst for the hydrochlorination of acetylene, or the oxidation of sulfides. ^[4]
