14. 2 system. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 123:2001;1625-1635 The advantages of high-throughput screening are demonstrated nicely here. Libraries of inorganic complexes were evaluated for their ability to catalyze aerobic sulfoxidation, an elusive target within homogeneous catalysis. A novel gold catalyst was uncovered and studied mechanistically.
