The assembly of two different building blocks, [{Au(C6 F5 )2 }{PbCl(terpy)}] (terpy=2,2':6':2''-terpyridine) and [{Au(C6 F5 )2 }2 {Pb(terpy)}]n , acting as terminal or central pieces, respectively, gives rise to a decanuclear complex built via metallophilic and π-stacking interactions in which the number of AuI ⋅⋅⋅AuI and AuI ⋅⋅⋅PbII contacts is finely controlled.
