Going for gold : The first thermally stable gold(III) hydride [(C N C)*AuH] is presented. It undergoes regioselective insertions with allenes to give gold(III) vinyl complexes, and reductive condensation with [(C N C)*AuOH] to the air‐stable Au II product, [(C N C)* 2 Au 2 ], with a short nonbridged gold–gold bond.
