چکیده
The development of the synthesis of a wide range of Au(I) complexes reversibly promotes the advance in their practical usages, particularly, in biological applications. The formation of gold-sulfur rich protein adducts contributes to the cytotoxic nature of the gold compounds for chemotherapeutic approaches, while Au-Au interactions endow them with spectroscopic and luminescence properties. This article reviews that the recent five year progress for Au(I) complexes based biological applications, including the investigation of the development of new anticancer agents and antibacterial compounds, the application of biological imaging and the fabrication of novel sensors.

The stereospecific polymerization of conjugated dienes began in 1954 with the first catalysts obtained by combining TiCl4 or TiCl3 with aluminum-alkyls, i.e. the catalytic systems previously employed for ethylene and propylene polymerizations. Subsequently, many other catalytic systems were obtained and examined by a combination of transition metal or lanthanide compounds with appropriate alkyl...
