The [Au(NCPh) 2 ] + cation has been isolated and synthesized in high yields by the oxidation of gold powder in the presence of NOBF 4 . It represents a labile form of gold(I), which has been shown to be a valuable synthon for the synthesis of a wide range of gold(I) complexes and especially of a variety of gold(I) amines which have opened new synthetic routes for the isolation of organometallic gold(I) complexes.
