==Structure and properties==
Single crystals of gold(I,III) chloride are triclinic with a ''P''{{overline|1}} ] and consist of discrete Au<sub>4</sub>Cl<sub>8</sub> molecules with idealised C<sub>2h</sub> ].<ref name=XRD /> Within this the Au(I) centers are linearly coordinated with a Cl-Au-Cl bond angle of 175.0° (close to the ideal value of 180°) and an average bond length of 2.30 ]. The Au(III) centers adopt a slightly irregular square-planar conformation with the Au-Cl bond lengths for ] chlorides (2.33 Å) being slightly longer than those of terminal chlorides (2.24 Å).
