The structures of AuH and AuI are already known, now the long‐sought‐after molecules AuH 3 (=(H 2 )AuH) and AuH 5 (=H 3 Au(H 2 )) have been detected by matrix isolation spectroscopy. Based on new calculations, the global minimum for AuI 3 , a missing member of the gold halides, has been elucidated to be that of an L‐shaped moiety ( C s symmetry; charge transfer from the I 2 unit to the AuI).
