The covalent radius of AuI is about 0.07 Å smaller than that of AgI. This was determined from the crystal structures of the isostructural complexes [N(PPh3)][{Au(C6F5)3(μ-PPh2)}2M] (M=Au (structure shown in the picture), Ag). These mixed AuIII–M phosphides were synthesized from [Au(C6F5)3(PPh2H)], the first gold complex to contain a secondary phosphane.
