A full optimization on the ground-state geometry of the trinuclear gold(I) organometallic complex, Au3(HN=COH)3, was carried out at MPW1PW/SDD level. Some models of dimer and trimer of Au3(HN=COH)3 were set up basing on the optimized ground-state structure of the monomer. The luminescent properties and the intermolecular interactions of the oligomers of Au3(HN=COH)3 were studied by TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) method. The results showed that the intermolecular aurophilic effects, which resulted in exciplexes, were strongly enhanced in the excited states and led to the huge red-shifts of the optical absorption and emission spectra. It also showed that the low energy transitions of these trigold complexes come mainly from occupied Au(5d) orbitals to vacant Au(6p) orbitals.

Key words: gold(I) oligomer, luminescence, time-dependent density functional theory, intermolecular interaction
