The synthesis and characterizations for a series of dinuclear gold (I)‐di‐NHC complexes, 1–8 through the trans‐metalation method of their respective silver (I)‐di‐NHC complexes, i–viii are reported (where NHC = N‐heterocyclic carbene). The successful complexation of a series of unusual non‐symmetrical and symmetrical di‐NHC ligands, 3,3'‐(ethane‐1,2‐diyl)‐1‐alkylbenzimidazolium‐1'‐butylbenzimidazolium (with alkyl = methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, benzyl) with the gold (I) ions are suggested by elemental analysis, Fourier transform‐infrared, 1H‐ and 13C‐NMR data. The 13C‐NMR spectra of 1–8 show a singlet sharp peak in the range of 190.00–192.00 ppm, indicating the presence of a carbene carbon that bonded to the gold (I) ion. From single crystal X‐ray diffraction data, the structure of complex 6 with the formula of [di‐NHC‐Au (I)]2·2PF6 is obtained [where NHC = 3,3'‐(ethane‐1,2‐diyl)‐1‐hexylbenzimidazolium‐1'‐butylbenzimidazolium]. The photophysical study in solid state of 6 displays an intense photoluminescence with a strong emission maxima, λem = 480 nm, upon excitation at 340 nm at room temperature. Interestingly, the emission maximum at 77 K shows a structural character with a strong peak at 410 nm, a medium at 433 nm and a weak at 387 nm, accompanied by a tail band to about 500 nm.
