Noble with a difference : Matrix‐isolation experiments and quantum‐chemical calculations have led to the characterization of two new compounds, namely first open‐shell binary gold fluoride, AuF 2 , and a NeAuF complex. Moreover, ArAuF, AuF 3 , Au 2 F 6 , and monomeric AuF 5 have been produced and identified under cryogenic conditions in neon and argon matrices.
