The Dinitrogen‐Ligated Triaurum Cation, Aurodiazenylium, Auronitrenium, Auroammonia, and Auroammonium

Go for the gold! Laser-vaporized abundant Au/N binary cations, such as the title species, and the triaurum cation are structurally and electronically analogous to the N/H species and trihydrogen cation [H3]+, respectively, showing the isolobal analogy between [AuN2]+ and H+ (see picture).
