Theory shows these interactions provide energies of stabilisation greater than 12 kcal mol-1 compared to putative Au···O interactions. Compounds 1 – 3 exhibited, predominantly, a bactericidal effect on Gram-positive (1 –3) and Gram-negative (only 1) pathogens.AcknowledgementSunway University is thanked for the financial support provided to attendICCC 2016 in Brest, France.Au··· πAu··· OMononuclear vs Binuclear Au(I) complexes
