Abstract

(SO4)-rich silicate analogue borosulfates are able to stabilise cationic cluster-like and chain-like aggregates. Single crystals of Au3Cl4B(S2O7)2 and Au2Cl4B(S2O7)2(SO3) were obtained by solvothermal reaction with SO3, and the electronic properties were investigated by means of density functional theory–based calculations. Au3Cl4B(S2O7)2 exhibits a cluster-like cation, and the cationic gold-chloride strands in Au2Cl4B(S2O7)2(SO3) are found to resemble one-dimensional metallic wires. This is confirmed by polarisation microscopy.
