Although gold (Au) in bulk is almost inert as a catalyst, it turns to be active for many reactions when deposited as nanoparticles (NPs) and clusters on base metal oxides. They are characterized by three features; active at low temperatures, enhanced by water, and uniquely selective. Over supported Au NPs CO adsorbs on the Au surfaces and O2 is activated at the perimeter interfaces around Au NPs. Both the two adsorbates react with each other at the perimeter interfaces. Gold clusters are expected to exhibit unique selectivity through the precise control of the number of atoms and the selection of appropriate support materials.

Gold has long been neglected as a catalyst because of its chemical inertness. However, when gold is deposited as nanoparticles on carbon and polymer materials as well as on base metal oxides and hydroxides, it exhibits unique catalytic properties for many reactions such as CO oxidation at a temperature as low as 200 K, gas phase direct epoxidation of propylene, and aerobic oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid. The structure-catalytic activity correlations are discussed with emphasis on the contact structure, support selection, and the size control of gold particles. Gold clusters with diameters smaller than 2 nm are expected to exhibit novel properties in catalysis, optics, and electronics depending on the size (number of atoms), shape, and the electronic and chemical interaction with the support materials. The above achievements and attempts can be regarded as a modern alchemy that creates valuables by means of the noblest element with little practical use.

Among base metal oxides, Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>, MnO<sub>2</sub>, and NiO, which have p-type semiconducting properties, hold potential catalytic capability for the oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) at temperatures below 0<sup>o</sup>C. Either of the following requirements should be fulfilled; low moisture content in reaction feed, optimum temperature and atmosphere for catalyst pretreatments, and the control of metal oxide morphology. Surface oxygen vacancies are assumed to play a key role in low temperature CO oxidation.
