title: [μ-1,2-Bis(diphenyl-phosphino)methane-κP:P']bis-{[(Z)-O-ethyl N-(4-nitro-phen-yl)thio-carbamato-κS]gold(I)}.
abstract: Each gold atom in the binuclear title compound, [Au(2)(C(9)H(9)N(2)O(3)S)(2)(C(25)H(22)P(2))], is coordinated within an S,P-donor set that defines a slightly distorted linear geometry [S-Au-P angles = 172.77 (6) and 173.84 (6)°], with the distortion due in part to a close intra-molecular Au⋯O contact [2.968 (11) and 2.963 (4) Å]. The mol-ecule adopts a U-shaped conformation allowing for the formation of an aurophilic Au⋯Au inter-action [3.2320 (5) Å]. Mol-ecules are consolidated in the crystal structure by C-H⋯π inter-actions. Disorder was noted for one of the eth-oxy groups with two orientations being resolved in a 0.679 (16):0.321 (16) ratio.
