The cation of the title compound, [Au(C18H15PS)2](PO2F2), lies with the Au atom on a 2-fold axis, with Au—S 2.277 (2) Å and S—Au—S 172.40 (12)°. The deviation from linearity is not caused by AuAu interactions. It may be caused by intramolecular π–π interactions between phenyl rings. Bond lengths and angles are normal.
