title: Aurophilicity under pressure: a combined crystallographic and in situ spectroscopic study.
abstract: High pressure crystallographic studies on [1,4-C6H4{PPh2(AuCl)}2] (1) reveal the largest pressure-induced contraction of an aurophilic interaction observed for any Au(i) complex; Hirshfeld surface analysis and Raman spectroscopy reveal the presence of several types of intermolecular interaction, which play an important role in the behaviour of 1 as a function of pressure.
