(SO )-rich silicate analogue borosulfates are able to stabilise cationic cluster-like and chain-like aggregates. Single crystals of [Au Cl ][B(S O ) ] and [Au Cl ]B(S O ) were obtained by solvothermal reaction with SO , and the electronic properties were investigated by means of density functional theory-based calculations. [Au Cl ][B(S O ) ] exhibits a cluster-like cation, and the cationic gold-chloride strands in [Au Cl ]B(S O ) are found to resemble one-dimensional metallic wires. This is confirmed by polarisation microscopy.
