(9,10-Dioxo-9,10-dihydro-1-anthrylaminato-N)(triphenylphosphine-P)gold

In the title compound, [Au(C₁₄H₈NO₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], the AuPPh₃ group is located at the amino group. The Au-N and Au-P distances are 2.019 (3) and 2.2420 (8) Å. The amino group H atom is involved in the intramolecular hydrogen bond with a carbonyl O atom. The bond length distribution in the aminoanthraquinone ligand is slightly different from that in the free ligand, manifesting itself as a more pronounced contribution from the quinoid structure.
