Abstract: The Au atom in the title compound, [AuCl{(C₆F₅)₃P}], exists within a P and Cl donor set that constitutes a linear geometry. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit; the Au-P and Au-Cl bond lengths and the P-Au-Cl angle are 2.2060  (9), 2.2688  (9)  Å and 172.68  (3)°, respectively, for molecule 1 and 2.2149  (9) 2.2706  (9)  Å and 176.54  (3)°, respectively, for molecule 2.
