Useful:

• Canonical SMILES: Cl.Cl[Au](Cl)Cl
• Uses: The HCl plus the HNO2 (hydrochloric and nitric acids) are combined to produce agua regia acid, which is the only acid that can dissolve gold. Hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) acts as a precursor used in the purification of gold by electrolysis. It is also used for the recovery, concentration, purification and analytical determination of gold. It acts as a key starting material for the preparation of gold compounds. It plays an important role as a catalyst in the preparation of 2-arylbenzoxazoles.
