Several salts of protonated amines and aza‐aromatics with [AuCl 4 ] – and [AuBr 4 ] – anions contain two‐dimensional (“square”) anionic networks that display short halogen ··· halogen contacts. The Au 4 quadrilaterals formed by neighboring anions of the networks are to a good approximation squares, with sides of around 7.5 Å for tetrachloridoaurates and 8 Å for tetrabromidoaurates.
