Compared to common types of Au(I) coordination , such as linear, trigonal planar, and tetrahedral units observed in extended solids, the square planar coordination is rare. Au(I)relia, shown in the cover image, exhibits the 3‐centered bonding of Au‐Tt‐Au and Au‐Pn‐Au (on her feathers), square planar cis‐[AuTt2Pn2] units (her pendant), and linear …‐Au‐Au‐Au‐… chains (her legs) that are characteristic of the novel equiatomic AuSiAs, AuGeP, and AuGeAs compounds. The image was created by designer Grant Luhmann. More information can be found in the Full Paper by K. Kovnir et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202005312).
