'''Caesium auride''' (CsAu) is an ionic compound containing the unusual Au<sup>−</sup> ion. It is obtained by heating a stoichiometric mixture of ] and ]; the two metallic-yellow liquids react to give a clear product. The solution in liquid ammonia is brown, and the solid is yellow; the ammonium adduct is dark blue.


__TOC__
The compound reacts violently with water, yielding ] and metallic gold; in liquid ammonia it can be reacted with a cesium-specific ion exchange resin to produce tetramethylammonium auride.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Effects of relativistic motion of electrons on the chemistry of gold and platinum|journal=Solid State Sciences|date=2005-11-30|volume=7|issue=12|pages=1464–1474|doi=10.1016/j.solidstatesciences.2005.06.015|last=Jansen|first=Martin}}</ref>
