The novel compounds K2AuPS4 (1), Tl2AuPS4 (2), K2AuAsS4 (3), and KAu5P2S8 (4) have been synthesized by direct reaction of the elements with a molten alkaline polythiophosphate(arsenate) flux at 550°C. The crystal structures of these compounds have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction techniques. 1, 2, and 3 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/m. The structures of 1, 2, and 3 consist of infinite, one‐dimensional anionic chains running along the crystallographic b axis. The chains are separated by potassium or thallium ions. Neighbouring Au atoms are bridged by MS43− tetrahedra (M = P, As) in a trans orientation. Compound 4 crystallizes in the space group P21/c. The anionic chains of 4 are built up from linear AuS2 dumbbell units and PS43− tetrahedra. The chains extend along the [110] and [110] direction and are separated by charge balancing K+ cations. Each of the compounds was investigated by differential thermal analysis, FT‐IR, and solid‐state UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.
