Treatment of the (isocyanoborane)gold(I) chloride adduct [ L AuCl] [ L = (H 3 C) 3 NB(H) 2 NC] with KI at room temperature yields the unusal title compound, bis[isocyano(trimethylamino)borane]gold(I) diiodoaurate(I), [Au(C 4 H 11 BN 2 ) 2 ][AuI 2 ], which forms via an in situ rearrangement of isocyanoborane and halide ligands. The structure consists of alternating [ L 2 Au] + and [AuI 2 ] − ions, which form an infinite linear one‐dimensional chain due to aurophilic Au⋯Au interactions. Both Au atoms occupy inversion centres.
