The first structure elucidation of a lamellar gold thiolate coordination polymer is described. [Au(p-SPhCO2Me)](n) is obtained from the simultaneous esterification of mercaptobenzoic acid and reduction of the Au(III) precursor. Despite the presence of aurophilic interactions, the intense phosphorescence (QY similar to 70%) originates from intra-ligand and metal-to-ligand transitions.
