If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

General description
Application
- As a precursor to prepare magnetic nanocatalyst systems for various organic transformations. For example, Fe3O4@SiO2-P–AuCl can be used as a catalyst for one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with various aromatic amines.[1]
- As a starting material to synthesize Au-containing complexes for application in the field of drug delivery, solar cells, sensors, and organic synthesis.[2]
- As a precatalyst for stereoselective cycloisomerization of α-thioallenes to 2,5-dihydrothiophenes via C-S bond formation.[3]
- As a catalyst for the conversion of siloxy cyclohexadienes, to the corresponding1,2- and 1,3-cyclohexenones via Gold-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization.[4]

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
