The volume gives all available information on the inorganic compounds and systems which contain gold, at least one metal element of the groups 1 to 6, 11 to 14 of the periodic system, or Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, as well as a nonmetal element. Thus, this volume concludes the systematic coverage of inorganic gold compounds. The present volume contains detailed descriptions of several well known classes of compounds, such as the tetrafluoroaurates and the dicyanoaurates of various metals such as the alkaline earth metals, zinc, cadmium, mercury, thallium, lead, and the rare earth elements. Gold and rare earth elements also form disilicides with the composition MAu2Si2 . The electrical and magnetic properties of these disilicides are of special interest.
