Metal-metal　bonding　interactions　have　been　employed　as　an　efficient　strategy　to　generate　a　number　of　unique　gold(I)　metallo-macrocycles　with　fascinating　functions.　The　self-assembly,　crystal　structure　and　emission　property　of　novel　nest-like　tetramer　1(4),　namely,　{[Au-4(-dppm)(2)(-dctp(2-))](BF4)(2)}(4)(CH3CN)(2)　(dppm=bis(diphenylphosphino)methane,　dctp(2-)=N,N-bis(dicarbodithioate)-2,11-diaza[3.3]paracyclophane)　is　reported.　The　complex　has　been　characterized　by　single-crystal　X-ray　diffraction　analysis,　(HNMR)-H-1　spectroscopy,　(CNMR)-C-13　spectroscopy,　and　CSI-MS　spectrometry.　The　aggregate　demonstrates　the　sixteen　gold(I)　atoms　are　arranged　in　a　ring　with　a　circumference　of　50.011(68)angstrom　generated　by　(AuAuI)-Au-I　attractions.　UV/visible　and　luminescence　spectroscopy　revealed　that　this　(AuAuI)-Au-I　bonded　metallo-macrocycle　exhibited　yellow　phosphorescence.
