Abstract: The title compound, [Au(C₁₀H₁₁S₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], features an Au^I atom linearly coordinated to a P atom and one S atom of the dithiobenzoate. The S-Au-P bond angle is 177.43 (2)°. In contrast to other reported dithiobenzoate-gold complexes, in which the second S atom is syn with respect to Au, the title compound shows an uncoordinated S atom in an anti conformation.
