In recent decade, Au nanoclusters of atomic precision (Au_nL_m, where L=organic ligand:thiolate and phosphine) have been shown as a new promising nanogold catalyst. The well-defined Au_nL_m catalysts possess unique electronic properties and frameworks, providing an excellent opportunity to correlate the intrinsic catalytic behavior with the cluster's framework as well as to study the catalytic mechanisms over gold nanoclusters. In this review, we only demonstrate the important roles of the gold nanoclusters in the oxygen activation (e.g., ³O₂ to ¹O₂) and their selective oxidations in the presence of oxygen (e.g., CO to CO₂, sulfides to sulfoxides, alcohol to aldehyde, styrene to styrene epoxide, amines to imines, and glucose to gluconic acid). The size-specificity (Au₂₅ (1.3 nm), Au₃₈ (1.5 nm), Au₁₄₄ (1.9 nm), etc.), ligand engineering (e.g., aromatic vs aliphatic), and doping effects (e.g., copper, silver, palladium, and platinum) are discussed in details. Finally, the proposed reactions' mechanism and the relationships of clusters' structure and activity at the atomic level also are presented.
