| Summary: | Recently accumulated experimental evidence for aurophilic interactions in and between molecular gold(
i
) compounds and the results of pertinent theoretical calculations are reviewed for the period from 2007 to mid-2011. The influence of the intra- and intermolecular bonding contacts between the closed-shell metal centres, Au-Au, on the molecular and crystal structures, and the consequences of these effects for the chemical and physical properties of gold compounds are summarized for the various classes of mono- and polynuclear systems. The literature survey builds on the contents of previous reviews and relates new experimental and theoretical findings to earlier observations (353 references).
The self-assembly of gold atoms-recent experimental evidence for aurophilic interactions in and between mono- and polynuclear gold(

) compounds, and the results of pertinent theoretical calculations are reviewed for the period from 2007 to mid-2011. |

| Bibliography: | Hubert Schmidbaur is presently Professor Emeritus at Department Chemie of Technische Universität München, Germany, and Adjunct Professor at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In his career he held positions at the universities of Munich, Marburg and Würzburg in Germany, and was a visiting professor at several universities in Australia, Finland, India, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, the UK, and the USA. In research he has contributed to many areas of inorganic, organometallic and coordination chemistry as reflected by more than 850 widely cited publications and acknowledged by many awards, including the Centennial and Ludwig Mond medals of the RSC, and memberships in several academies and learned societies. He is the founder of the series of conferences on the Chemistry and Technology of Gold now continued under the auspices of the World Gold Council. Annette Schier has been engaged in the crystallography unit and in advanced teaching assignments at the Inorganic Chemistry Institute of Technische Universität München. She was in charge of the organization of several major international chemistry conferences, and is a co-author of more than 200 publications and associated with the editorial boards of scientific journals.
