C. Feldmann et M. Jansen, OPTICAL-ABSORPTION OF THE AURIDES M(3)AUO (M=K, RB, CS), Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 51(4), 1996, pp. 607-608
The optical absorption of the aurides M(3)AuO (M = K, Rb, Cs) and CsAu
has been determinated by UV/VIS spectroscopy. The band gaps have been
found to be 2,35(2) eV (Cs3AuO) and 2,30(2) eV (CsAu). This correspon
ds to a more pronounced anionic character of gold in Cs3AuO as compare
d to CsAu. In the case of K3AuO and Rb3AuO no band gap was detectable.
