Unlike the published literature, the chapter focuses on recent developments in our understanding of the radicals involved catalytic reactions on heterogeneous gold-based catalysts. This chapter is composed of four parts: (1) selective oxidation of alkanes; (2) selective oxidation of alkenes; (3) selective oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes; and (4) Fenton-like reaction and photocatalytic oxidation. The role of gold in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is analysed and the mechanism for the production of hydroxyl radicals (OH) is envisaged.
