The synthesis and structural characterization of metalloid gold clusters stabilized by sulfur ligands has increased massively in the last decade. The metalloid gold clusters are synthesized via a reduction of a gold precursor and most metalloid gold clusters are stabilized via aryl thiolate ligands. It is also possible to use thiosilyl or phosphine groups as stabilizing ligands. Here, we present a small Au 6 cluster as a possible intermediate of the formation of large metalloid clusters, together with the synthesis of a variety of defined Au I precursors that contain a phosphine or a phosphite group as well as a thiosilyl ligand, which can be further used for the synthesis of metalloid gold clusters.
