In the crystal structure of the title compound, [AuCl(C20H17OP)], the phosphine acts as a monodentate ligand. The Au atoms are attached solely to the P and Cl atoms. The coordination is linear without any tendency to aggregate via aurophilic interactions.
2-(Diphenylphosphino)acetophenone was synthesized according to a published procedure (Coote et al., 1993). The title complex was prepared analogous to a previously published procedure (Monkowius et al., 2003a,b): 2-(diphenylphosphino)acetophenone (0.10 g, 0.31 mmol) and (tht)AuCl (0.10 g, 0.31 mmol, tht = tetrahydrothiophene) were stirred in methylene chloride (20 ml) at room temperature for 2 h. The product was precipitated with n-pentane and isolated by filtration. Recrystallization from methylene chloride/diethylether yields colourless crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography. Yield: 0.16 mg (0.30 mmol, 97%); 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.09 (ddd, J = 7.75, 4.42, 1.17 Hz, 1 H, C6H4), 7.69 (pseudo-tt, J = 7.75, 1.32 Hz, 1 H, C6H4), 7.39–7.56 (m, 11 H, Ph2P, C6H4), 6.99 (ddd, J = 12.91, 1.05, 1.08 Hz, 1 H, C6H4), 2.59 (s, 3 H, CH3).
The data were collected at room temperature. The structure was solved by direct methods (SIR97) and refined by full-matrix anisotropic least squares (SHELXL97). The H-atoms were calculated geometrically and a riding model was used during refinement process.

Experimental. Data were collected applying an imaging plate system (Stoe) with the following measurement parameters: Detector distance [mm] 65 Phi movement mode Oscillation Phi incr. [degrees] 1.0 Number of exposures 260 Irradiation / exposure [min] 5.00 For a detailed description of the method see: Sheldrick, G.M., Paulus, E. Vertesy, L. & Hahn, F. (1995) Acta Cryst. B51, 89–98. |
Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound was prepared from 2-(diphenylphosphino)acetophenone and (tht)AuCl (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) in methylene chloride in nearly quantitative yields. The crystals are built of monomeric units which show no tendency to aggregate via aurophilic interactions. In principle, the applied phosphine is capable of coordinating as a bidentate P,O-ligand (Johansson et al., 2002). Nevertheless, the gold atom is in a standard linear coordination [P—Au—Cl 178.99 (6)°] and entertains no short oxygen contacts. The Au—Cl and Au—P bond lengths are 2.2838 (19) and 2.2323 (16) Å, respectively, and are lying in the expected range for (aryl3P)AuCl complexes (Monkowius et al., 2003a,b). All Au—P—C angles are larger than the tetrahedral standard [109.9 (2)–116.0 (2)°], and all C—P—C angles are smaller [103.8 (3)–106.4°]. The keto group of the phosphine ligand is twisted out of the plane of the aromatic ring by 26.5 (10)° (C13—C18—C19—O1), with the oxygen oriented towards the gold atom.
