Abstract: In the title compound, [AuBr(dppmO)]·CH₃CN [dppmO = Ph₂P(CH₂)P(O)Ph₂], the dppmO ligand coordinates through the P donor to give a linear two-coordinate P-Au-Br gold(I) complex. The Au-Br and Au-P bond lengths are 2.241  (2) and 2.4069  (19)  Å, respectively. The P-Au-Br and P=O groups lie almost parallel to each other [O-PP-Au = 8.3  (2)°], while the intramolecular AuO distance is 3.274  (4)  Å.
