Tetra-n-butylammonium tetrakis(pentafluorobenzenethiolato-kappaS)aurate(III).
The title compound, (C(16)H(36)N)[Au(C(6)F(5)S)(4)], is the first example of a structurally characterized gold(III) complex with monodentate benzenethiolate ligands. The Au atom lies on a fourfold axis and the AuS(4) group has square-planar geometry. The anion shows a two-dimensional linkage through pi-pi and C-F...pi intermolecular interactions.
