Gold(III) chloride nanocrystalline superlattices in gold colloid solution which are prepared by ligand-induction using AuCl3 reduced with sodium borohydride. Gold(III) chloride exhibits limited solubility in water. As a potent oxidizing agent, it finds applications in diverse organic synthesis reactions and serves as a component in the production of gold nanoparticles. Additionally, this compound plays a role in the synthesis of gold-containing compounds and is instrumental in the preparation of catalysts.
