Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Au(C₁₀H₈S₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂], consists of two independent molecules. The Au coordination environment can be described as a highly distorted tetrahedral arrangement (S₂AuP₂), but is more accurately described as a flattened trigonal pyramid defined by three normal covalent bonds (SAuP₂), with a second S atom more distantly bonded to the Au atom.
