Abstract In this review we show the synthetic utility of acetylacetonatogold complexes as reagents for preparing gold(III) complexes with C, N and O donor ligands and gold(I) complexes with phosphorus ylide, methanide, methanediide, sulfur ylide, amino, amido, nitrido alkyl, phosphido, thiolato, hydrosulfido, trithiocarbonato, dithiocarbamato, 1,1 dithiolato and alkynyl (including ethynyl) ligands.
