title: μ-1,1'-Bis(diphenyl-phosphino)ferrocene-κP:P'-bis-{[(Z)-O-isopropyl N-(4-nitro-phen-yl)thio-carbamato-κS]gold(I)} chloro-form disolvate.
abstract: The dinuclear title mol-ecule, [Au(2)Fe(C(10)H(11)N(2)O(3)S)(2)(C(17)H(14)P)(2)]·2CHCl(3), has crystallographic twofold symmetry with the Fe atom (bonded to two η(5)-cyclo-penta-dienyl rings) situated on the rotation axis. The Au atom exists within a linear geometry defined by an S,P-donor set with a deviation from linearity [S-Au-P = 176.86 (6)°] due to the close approach of the thio-carbamate O atom [Au⋯O = 3.108 (5) Å]. The mol-ecule has a U-shaped geometry which facilitates the formation of an intra-molecular Au⋯Au inter-action [3.0231 (5) Å]. In the crystal, the presence of C-H⋯O(nitro) contacts leads to the formation of layers with substantial voids; these are occupied by the solvent mol-ecules of crystallization, which are held in place by C-H⋯S contacts.
