Chloryl tetraperchloratoaurate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula ClO2Au(ClO4)4 consisting of the chloryl cation and a tetraperchloratoaurate anion.
It is an orange solid that readily hydrolyzes in air.
[1] Chloryl tetraperchloratoaurate is produced by the oxidation of gold metal, gold(III) chloride, or chloroauric acid by dichlorine hexoxide:[1][2] A production of gold(III) perchlorate is attempted by heating this compound, but it instead forms an oxy-perchlorato derivative.
