Chloroauric acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H[AuCl₄]. It forms hydrates H[AuCl₄]·nH₂O. Both the trihydrate and tetrahydrate are known. Both are orange-yellow solids consisting of the planar [AuCl₄]⁻ anion. Often chloroauric acid is handled as a solution, such as those obtained by dissolution of gold in aqua regia. These solutions can be converted to other gold complexes or reduced to metallic gold or gold nanoparticles.
