Formation and structure of two luminescent salts of [Au(SCSN3)2]- obtained through the [2 + 3] cyclization of carbon disulfide and azide ion

Photoluminescent properties and molecular structures of dinuclear gold(i) complexes with bridged diphosphine ligands: near-unity phosphorescence from 3XMMCT/3MC

Dinuclear gold(i) complexes with bridged diphosphine ligands display near-unity phosphorescence in the crystalline state at room-temperature.

Polynuclear cage-like Au(i) phosphane complexes based on a S2− template: observation of multiple luminescence in coordinated polyaromatic systems

Sulfido-phosphane Au(i) complexes display multiple emissions, the nature of which is determined by the distance between Au(i) and the chromophoric center.

Noncovalent interactions determine the conformation of aurophilic complexes with 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid ligands

The synthesis of three new gold(i) salts is reported. The intermolecular interactions stabilizing the aurophilic dimers are examined by several first principles interpretative techniques.
