Abstract
AbstractThe Mössbauer spectra of Au11L7X3, [Au11 L8X2]PF6, [Au11(dppp)5](SCN)3, [Au8L8](PF6)2 and [Au9L8](PF6)3 (L = PPh3, X = SCN, Cl or CN, dppp = 1,3‐bis(diphenyl‐phosphino)propane) are presented and interpreted on the basis of three different gold sites, namely: (1) a central gold atom, (2) peripheral gold atoms coordinated to phosphines and (3) peripheral gold atoms coordinated to (pseudo)halides. The peripheral gold atoms in all the clusters behave like linearly hybridized atoms. The zero quadrupole splitting of the central gold atom reflects the almost spherical environment of this atom in the clusters, with [Au9L8]3+ being a remarkable exception.
