PAuCl8

metal

· JVASP-62144· PAuCl8

PAuCl8 is a gold-containing coordination compound or complex salt, likely composed of gold and chlorine with an additional cationic or polymeric component (indicated by the 'P' prefix). This material belongs to the family of metal coordination complexes and chloride salts, which are more commonly encountered in research and specialized chemical applications rather than as primary structural or functional engineering materials. Its use would typically be limited to niche applications in materials research, catalysis studies, or electrochemistry, where gold's unique properties (high stability, conductivity, biocompatibility) combined with chloride coordination chemistry offer specific advantages over conventional alternatives.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
