Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, o-CH₃(C₆H₄)C(S)S-Au-P(C₆H₅)₃ or [Au(C₈H₇S₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], consists of two quasi-linear gold complexes. The S-Au-P bond angles [173.83 (2), 175.03 (2)°], S-Au bond lengths [2.3240 (6), 2.3329 (6) Å] and Au-P bond lengths [2.2568 (6), 2.2632 (6) Å] are consistent with previously reported values. The major difference in the two molecules is that the o-methylphenyl rings are twisted with respect to the dithiocarboxyl planes by 73.0 (3)° and 46.6 (3)°, as measured by S-C-C-C torsion angles.
