A golden opportunity was seized to prepare an unbridged, dinucleur gold(II) compound, [Au 2 (C 6 F 5 ) 4 (tht) 2 ] (tht=tetrahydrothiophene), without any stabilizing chelating ligands (see picture; Au orange, S yellow, F green, C black) and to crystallographically characterize the gold(I) and gold(III) complexes participating in this conversion. A unique ligand scrambling of the latter gold(III) compound occurs in solution.
