The X-ray structure of the {Cu(NH3)(4)[Au(CN)(2)]}(+)[Au(CN)(2)](-) salt is reported showing an unprecedented [d(9)]Cu...[d(10)]Au coinage bond. The physical nature of the interaction has been studied using DFT calculations, including the quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules, the noncovalent interaction plot and the natural bond orbital analysis, revealing the nucleophilic role of the [d(10)]Au metal and the electrophilic role of [d(9)]Cu metal.
