Au/H similarity is a hot topic in chemistry. Here, we report the theoretical prediction of new members of the Au/H analogy family: covalent B₂Au₄, ionic Al₂Au₄, and BAlAu₄. A comparative study of the geometric and electronic structures of electron-deficient B₂Au₄, Al₂Au₄, and BAlAu₄ was performed based on density and wave functional theories. Detailed orbital analyses, adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP), and electron localization function (ELF) analyses were performed. Ab initio theoretical evidence strongly suggests that the ground state of slightly distorted C₂B₂Au₄ is a covalent complex containing two B―Au―B three centers-two electrons (3c-2e) bonds. Unexpectedly, C_3vAl⁺(AlAu₄)^- and C_3v Al⁺(BAu₄)^- are predicted to have a salt-like composition with three X―Au―Al 3c-2e bonds (X=Al in Al₂Au₄, X=B in BAlAu₄). Al₂Au₄ and BAlAu₄ represent the first examples of bridging ld bonds in ionic-deficient systems. The adiabatic and vertical detachment energies of the anions were calculated to facilitate their future experimental characterization. Bridging ld addressed in this work provides an interesting bonding mode for covalent and ionic-deficient systems, and may aid in designing new materials and catalysts with highly dispersed Au atoms.
