A series of the first coordination polymers using the [Au(CN)(4)](-) anion as a building block has been prepared. The planar tetracyanoaurate anion uses one, two, or four cyano groups to bridge to Ni(II) or Cu(II) centers and exhibits weak Au(III)-N(cyano) interactions between anions. Ni(en)(2)[Au(CN)(4)](2).H(2)O (1, en = ethylenediamine) is a molecular compound with the two [Au(CN)(4)](-) anions coordinating in a trans orientation to Ni(II) without further cyanide coordination. Cu(dien)[Au(CN)(4)](2) (2, dien = diethylenetriamine) forms a similar molecular complex; however, the dimensionality is increased through weak intermolecular Au-N(cyano) interactions of 3.002(14) A to form a 1-D zigzag chain. Cu(en)(2)[Au(CN)(4)](2) (3) also forms a molecular complex similar to 1, but with elongated axial bonds. The complex further aggregates through Au-N(cyano) interactions of 3.035(8) A to form a 2-D array. In [Cu(dmeda)(2)Au(CN)(4)][Au(CN)(4)] (4, dmeda = N,N-dimethylethylenediamine) one [Au(CN)(4)](-) anion coordinates via two cis-N(cyano) donors to the axial sites of two Cu(II) centers to form a 1-D zigzag chain of alternating [Cu(dmeda)(2)](2+) and [Au(CN)(2)](-) units; the other [Au(CN)(4)](-) anion forms a 1-D chain via Au-N(cyano) interactions. In [Cu(bipy)(H(2)O)(2)(Au(CN)(4))(0.5)][Au(CN)(4)](1.5) (5, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) one [Au(CN)(4)](-) anion uses all four cyano moieties to bridge four different Cu(II) centers, creating a 1-D chain.

To explore the binding energy profiles and elucidate the bonding nature in counter-intuitive anion⋯anion coinage bonds (CiBs), thirty-one complexes were constructed, and the inter-anion CiBs were studied theoretically. The metastability was evidenced by the characteristic potential wells in six cases, demonstrating that anions [Au(CN)], [Ag(CN)] and [AuO] are appropriate building blocks for CiBs. The kinetic stability was further supported by molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations and the analyses based on the local vibrational mode and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) methods.

To investigate the factors influencing the formation of intermolecular Au···NC interactions between [Au(CN)(4)](-) units, a series of [cation](n+)[Au(CN)(4)](n) double salts was synthesized, structurally characterized and probed by IR and (15)N{(1)H} CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. Thus, [(n)Bu(4)N][Au(CN)(4)], [AsPh(4)][Au(CN)(4)], [N(PPh(3))(2)][Au(CN)(4)], [Co(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)][Au(CN)(4)](2), and [Mn(2,2';6',2''-terpyridine)(2)][Au(CN)(4)](2) show [Au(CN)(4)](-) anions that are well-separated from one another; no Au-Au or Au···NC interactions are present. trans-[Co(1,2-diaminoethane)(2)Cl(2)][Au(CN)(4)] forms a supramolecular structure, where trans-[Co(en)(2)Cl(2)](+) and [Au(CN)(4)](-) ions are found in separate layers connected by Au-CN···H-N hydrogen-bonding; weak Au···NC coordinate bonds complete octahedral Au(III) centers, and support a 2-D (4,4) network motif of [Au(CN)(4)](-)-units.

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance has been used to study several cyanoaurates. Carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 NMR spectra of samples enriched with isotopically labeled 13C,15N cyanide ligands were recorded for stationary samples and samples spinning at the magic angle. Several salts of the dicyanoaurate(I) anion, M[Au(CN)2], where M = n-butylammonium, potassium, and thallium, were studied via solid-state NMR.

The reduction of auricyanide ([Au(CN)(4)](-), a potential gold(III) metabolite of antiarthritic gold(I) compounds), by glutathione (G(-)SH, an anionic biological reductant) proceeds through two intermediates (I(230) and I(290)) which have previously been identified by their UV-vis spectra, but not isolated. Negative-ion electrospray ionization-mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS) has unambiguously identified them as [Au(CN)(3)(SG)](2-) and [Au(CN)(2)(SG)(2)](3-), respectively, and allowed their formation and decay to be monitored. The spectra also confirm that the products are aurocyanide ([Au(CN)(2)](-), a known metabolite of chrysotherapy agents) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG(2-)).

Two polymorphic products, [[Cu(tmeda)(mu-OH)}2Au(CN)4][Au(CN)4] (1) and [Cu(tmeda)(mu-OH)Au(CN)4]2 (2), were synthesized from {Cu(tmeda)(mu-OH)}(2)X(2) (tmeda = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, X = ClO4-, BF4-) and 2 equiv of K[Au(CN)4], and their X-ray structures were determined. Both compounds have [Cu(tmeda)(mu-OH)}2(2+) dimers with [Au(CN)4]- units bound in the axial positions. However, in 1, two trans N-donor cyanides of each [Au(CN)4]- unit bind to adjacent copper(II) dimers, forming a 1-D chain, whereas complex 2 is molecular, with two mono-coordinated [Au(CN)4]- units.
