Sodium tetrachloroaurate（Cat No.:M074656）, with the chemical formula NaAuCl4, is a coordination compound containing sodium cations (Na+) and tetrachloroaurate anions (AuCl4-) arranged in a crystal lattice. It is commonly used in chemical synthesis, particularly in the preparation of gold nanoparticles and as a precursor for various gold-containing materials. Sodium tetrachloroaurate serves as a source of gold ions in solution, facilitating the deposition of gold onto substrates in processes such as electroplating and thin-film deposition. Additionally, it finds application in analytical chemistry and research studies investigating the properties and behavior of gold compounds.
