Abstract: The metal atom in the title ylid-gold(I) adduct, [Au(C₆F₅)(C₂₆H₂₃P)]·C₄H₁₀O, exists in a linear coordination environment [C-Au-C = 174.1 (2)°]. The molecule has a short intramolecular contact involving an aromatic H atom (AuH = 2.64 Å); two adjacent molecules are linked by an AuH_ylid interaction (AuH = 3.14 Å).
