Closed‐shell interactions are generally assumed to be weak but relativistic coupled‐cluster calculations (see figure) reveal that the s 2 ‐s 2 system Au − +Ba has an unusually high dissociation energy of 143 kJ mol −1 . The main bond contribution is a charge‐induced dipole interaction that profits from a relativistically contracted bond length and the high dipole polarizability for barium.
