Synthesis and crystal structure determination of tetramethylammonium auride.
Tetramethylammonium auride, the first compound of negatively charged gold with a non-metal cation, has been synthesised by cation exchange in liquid ammonia; it is isostructural to the corresponding bromide which further illustrates the similarities between the halogens and gold.
