Abstract
A WIDE range of diatomic compounds of gold is now known, either through observations of their thermal emission or absorption spectra, or through mass spectrometric studies of high-temperature equilibria1. The former work provides information about the electronic energy states, and in favourable cases gives values of the bond-lengths, while the latter yields values of the dissociation energies. The purpose of this communication is to give the results of recent spectroscopic work on AuBe, AuMg, AuGa, AuSi and AuGe.
