Abstract: In the title compound, [Au(C₉H₉N₂O₃S)(C₆H₁₅P)], two virtually identical molecules comprise the asymmetric unit. These are connected by AuAu [3.6796 (4) Å] and AuS [3.6325 (18) and 3.5471 (18) Å] contacts, forming a dimeric aggregate. The presence of intramolecular AuO contacts [2.993 (5) and 2.957 (5) Å] is responsible for the slight deviations from the ideal linear coordination environments about the Au^I ions. The conformation about the central C=N double bond is Z. Supramolecular chains sustained by - [3.573 (4) Å] and C-H interactions are evident in the crystal structure. These are connected into layers via weak intermolecular C-HO interactions involving the nitro-group O atoms.
