Gold Chalcogenides
Gold chalcogenides are compounds formed between gold and one of the chalcogens, elements from group 16 of the periodic table: oxygen, sulfur, selenium, or tellurium. * Gold(III) oxide, Au2O3. Decomposes into gold and oxygen above 160 °C, and dissolves in concentrated alkalis to form solutions which probably contain the u(OH)4sup>− ion *Gold(I) sulfide, Au2S. Formed by passing hydrogen sulfide through solutions of gold(I) compounds. *Gold(III) sulfide, Au2S3, unstable in the presence of water. *Gold tellurides: Au2Te3, Au3Te5, and AuTe2 (approximate formulæ) are known as non-stoichiometric compounds. They show metallic conductivity. One telluride of gold is a superconductor at very low temperatures: Au3Te5 (1.62 K). Natural gold tellurides, like calaverite and krennerite (AuTe2), petzite ( Ag3AuTe2), and sylvanite (AgAuTe4), are minor ores of gold (and tellurium).
