The first example of azophosphines acting as a bridging ligand between two metal centres is reported. The hemilability of the azophosphine ligand renders the gold(I) dimer formation reversible, so that the complex is not a catalytic dead-end. The catalytic ability of the gold(I) azophosphine complexes is demonstrated through a series of cyclisation reactions that form C–C and C–O bonds.
