A chemical salt or complex compound containing both bromine and gold (aurum) as key components.
From 'bromo-' (bromine) plus 'aurate' (a salt of auric acid, from Latin 'aurum' meaning gold), indicating a compound with both halogens and precious metals.
Bromoaurates are fascinating to coordination chemists because gold forms complex and sometimes unexpected structures with bromine—these compounds help scientists understand how noble metals bond with halogens.
