'''Gold(I) chloride''' is a compound of ] and ] with the ] AuCl.

==Preparation==
Gold(I) chloride is prepared by thermal decomposition of ].

==Reactions==
Although there is a region of stability at higher temperatures at the appropriate chlorine vapor pressures, the compound is metastable at ambient conditions. When heated with water, the compound ] to metallic gold and gold(III) chloride in an autoredox reaction:
: 3 AuCl → 2 Au + AuCl<sub>3</sub>
At still higher temperatures, around 500 °C, all gold chlorides convert to gold. This conversion is key to the ], which is widely used for the purification of gold.<ref name=Ullmann>{{cite book |doi=10.1002/14356007.a12_499|chapter=Gold, Gold Alloys, and Gold Compounds |title=Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry |year=2000 |last1=Renner |first1=Hermann |last2=Schlamp |first2=Günther |last3=Hollmann |first3=Dieter |last4=Lüschow |first4=Hans Martin |last5=Tews |first5=Peter |last6=Rothaut |first6=Josef |last7=Dermann |first7=Klaus |last8=Knödler |first8=Alfons |last9=Hecht |first9=Christian |last10=Schlott |first10=Martin |last11=Drieselmann |first11=Ralf |last12=Peter |first12=Catrin |last13=Schiele |first13=Rainer |isbn=3527306730 }}</ref>

Reaction with ] yields potassium auric bromide and ] with separation of metallic gold:
: 3 AuCl + 4 KBr → KAuBr<sub>4</sub> + 2 Au + 3 KCl

==Safety==
Gold(I) chloride may irritate the skin and eyes, damage kidney function, and reduce white blood cell counts.
