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 15N{1H} CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. Thus, [ n Bu4N][Au(CN)4], [AsPh4][Au...
