Does ATC control IFR flights in Class G airspace?

Like Class E airspace, you can fly through Class G airspace at airports (the terminal environment) and while en-route. However, Class G airspace isn't controlled. Neither VFR (Visual Flight Rules) nor IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) aircraft need an ATC clearance to operate in Class G airspace.
