An Au   8 Icluster with an unusual structure , the dication 1 , is formed in the polyauration of 2,4,4‐trimethyl‐4,5‐dihydrooxazole. The expected dihydrooxazole with a peraurated 2‐methyl group reacts further with excess Ph 3 PAuCl/CsF under Au 1 ‐incorporation to give 1 . The highly aurated C atoms are trigonal‐bipyramidally coordinated. Since the distance between the two central Au atoms is also short (2.811(1) (Å), all the eight Au atoms are components of a cluster. The counterion [Me 3 SiF 2 ] ⊖ was also unexpected.
