Gold(II) sulfate is the chemical compound with the formula AuSO₄ or more correctly Au₂(SO₄)₂. This compound was previously thought to be a mixed-valent compound as Au^IAu^III(SO₄)₂. But later, it was shown that it contained the diatomic cation, Au⁴⁺
₂ which made it the first simple inorganic gold(II) compound. The bond distance between the gold atoms in the diatomic cation is 249 pm.^[1]^[2]
