Abstract
Medicinally active, water-soluble and anionic gold(I) complex {K3[Au(mba)2]}2 1 formed by 2-mercaptobenzoic acid (H2mba) was isolated and its crystal structure determined. The molecular structure in the solid-state comprised a dimeric (AuS2)2 core through a short gold(I)-gold(I) contact (3.1555(7) A), i.e., the aurophilic interaction.
