S](triphenylphosphine-
P)gold(I)In the title compound, [Au(C8H7ClNOS)(C18H15P)], the AuI atom has a near-linear geometry, defined by an S,P-donor set [S-Au-P = 175.09 (5)°]. The proximity of the methoxy O atom to Au may be responsible for the deviation from linearity [Au
O = 2.959 (4) Å].
Compound (I) was prepared following the standard literature procedure from the reaction of Ph3AuCl and MeOC(S)N(H)(C6H4Cl-o) in the presence of base (Hall et al., 1993).
The H atoms were geometrically placed (C—H = 0.94–0.97 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C). A rotating group model was used for the methyl group. The maximum and minimum residual electron density peaks of 1.17 and 0.54 e Å-3, respectively, are located 0.86 Å and 0.38 Å from the Au and H20 atoms, respectively.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes. |
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 > 2σ(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 motivation for systematic studies of phosphinegold(I) thiocarbamides, e.g. (R3P)PAu[SC(OR')NR''], relates to the delineation of crystal packing characteristics, e.g. the propensity to form aurophilic (Au···Au) interactions (Ho & Tiekink, 2007; Kuan et al., 2008), as well as the examination of their luminescence characteristics (Ho et al. 2006). The title compound, (C5H5)3PAu[SC(OMe)N(C6H4Cl-o)], (I), was synthesized during the course of these studies.
The thiocarbamato anion functions as a thiolate ligand in (I), Fig. 1, as seen in the magnitudes of the C1—S1 and C1═N1 bond distances of 1.762 (5) and 1.269 (6) Å, respectively; the conformation about C1═N1 is Z. The central SC(O)N chromophore has small but significant twists from planarity as seen in the S1–C1–N1–C2 and O1–C1–N1–C2 torsion angles of 10.0 (7) and -173.1 (4) °, respectively. The N-bound aryl ring is twisted out of this plane: the C1–N1–C2–C3 torsion angle is -126.3 (5) °. The thiocarbamato and phosphine ligands define an approximately linear S, P donor set, Table. The deviation of the S1—Au—P1 angle [175.09 (5) °] from the ideal linear geometry is ascribed to the close approach of the O1 atom [2.959 (4) Å] to Au.
