Application

Gold chloride was used to prepare open structures of gold nanoframes by galvanic replacement reactions. These Au nanocages find potential applications in surface plasmonics , surface- enhanced Raman spectroscopy, drug delivery, contrast-enhanced optical imaging and photothermal therapy. AuCl4 was used to wash sections in the Fontana-Masson picrosirius (FMPS) procedure in a study of simultaneous staining of melanin pigment and stromal collagen fibers.

General description

The structure of gold chloride is monoclinic. It sublimes at elevated temperatures.
