We describe the synthesis of very stable diazonium salts stabilized with AuCl4 in water. The salts are stable at room temperature but decomposes slowly in water. Thermal gravimetric analysis, NMR, X-ray structure, UV-visible and additional characterization will be discussed. In addition, comparison between NaNO2/HCl versus [NO]+ routes will be reported. IR showed a diazonium peak at approximately 2200 cm-1. Additional advantage in this procedure is the use of gold acid as a source of proton without the need for concentrated mineral or organic acids, in addition, it serves as a good stabilizing counter anion.
