Abstract
The aurophilic attraction or aurophilia is an empirically found phenomenon consisting of a weak attractive force between gold atoms that is, nevertheless, as strong as hydrogen bonds. This phenomenon produces, inter alia, shorter intramolecular and intermolecular distances than expected between gold centers and unexpected geometries.

Angela M. Kuchison, Michael O. Wolf, and Brian O. PatrickInorganic Chemistry2010 49 (19), 8802-8812The preparation and crystal structures of 3,3′′-diethynyl-2,2′:5′,2′′-terthiophene (A2T3) and three Au(I) complexes containing this ligand are reported. One of the complexes, Au2(dppm)(A2T3), has a short Au−Au distance (3.1969 Å) because of an aurophilic ...
