Similarly, the chemistry of arylgold compounds initially developed only slowly and the first arylgold compounds15 were well characterized 29 years after they were synthesized.16 The use of polyhalophenyl groups has contributed greatly to the more rapid development of this area in recent decades, leading to thermodynamically and kinetically stable species. 

Arylgold(I) and arylgold(III) chemistry had a late start in the 1960s, but then grew rapidly through the work by Uson and Nesmeyanov, complemented by work on cyclopentadienyl- see Cyclopentadienyl), ferrocenyl- see Ferrocene), and cymantrenyl- see Cymantrene) gold compounds.
