The 1:1 tribenzylphosphane (PBn3) complexes of gold(I)[(Bn3P)AuX] (X = Cl and Br) have been synthesised, and their structures were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. The compounds are isomorphous, neutral molecules with linearly coordinated P–Au–X arrays. Each structure contains three independent [(Bn3P)AuX] entities lying on the three threefold axes of space group P3c1. The mean bond lengths are Au–Cl 2.302(8), Au–P 2.227(11) Å for the chloride and Au–Br 2.404(10), Au–P 2.229(4) Å for the bromide. These contrast with the 1:1 adducts previously reported for copper(I), which take the form [Cu(PBn3)2][CuX2]. The 1:2 AuX:PBn3 compounds that have been synthesised are formulated as [Au(PBn3)2]X·nH2O (X = Cl, n = 1 or 2; X = I and BF4, n = 0). Single‐crystal X‐ray structures show that linearly two‐coordinate centrosymmetric [Au(PBn3)2]+ arrays are found in [Au(PBn3)2]Cl·H2O and [Au(PBn3)2]BF4 with Au–P bond lengths of 2.2988(7) and 2.3016(7) Å for the chloride and 2.2975(7) Å for the tetrafluoroborate. ν(AuX) bands in the far‐IR spectra of [(Bn3P)AuX] are assigned at 320 and 227 cm–1 for X = Cl and X = Br, respectively. The 31P CP MAS NMR spectra of [(Bn3P)AuX] (X = Cl, Br) and [Au(PBn3)2]X (X = Cl·H2O, Cl·2H2O, I, BF4) are reported, and the observation of 2J(PP) coupling in the spectrum of [Au(PBn3)2]Cl·2H2O is consistent with the presence in this complex of noncentrosymmetric cations in which the two phosphorus atoms are inequivalent.
