Tetramethylammonium auride, (CH3)4NAu, is an ionic compound containing tetramethylammonium as cation and gold in a –1 oxidation state as anion. It is an example of a compound containing this rare ionic form of gold, and the first auride paired with a cation that is not a metal atom that has been synthesized.[1]
