A cube with twelve Au atoms on the sides and eight S atoms at the corners constitutes the structure of the novel thioaurate( I ) ion [Au 12 S 8 ] 4⊖ . It is obtained quantitatively as the yellow [Ph 4 As] salt on addition of Ph 4 AsCl to an aqueous solution of Au 2 S and Na 2 S. Very few examples of thioaurates( I ) are known.
