Abstract

AbstractBy cleaving large gold clusters, dimeric and trimeric cationic gold complexes were generated and combined with polyoxometalates to form salt‐like intercluster compounds. Four of them comprise binuclear gold complexes [Au2(dppx)2]2+ with dppx = Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 with n = 1–3. Short chain lengths with n = 1 and 2, respectively, either enforce, or allow for short gold–gold distances. With n = 3 the gold atoms are kept at distances not allowing significant metallophilic interactions. The overall packing of these compounds can be related to the anti‐As2O3, CsCl, anti‐CaCl2 type. (nBu4N)2[Au3dppm2Cl2][PW12O40] contains a trinuclear gold complex and realizes a distorted Li3Bi‐type of topology.
