title: [(3-Methylphenyl)(triphenylphosphonio)methanide-κC]triphenyl-phospho-rane}(penta-fluoro-phenyl-κC)gold(I) diethyl ether solvate.
abstract: The metal atom in the title ylid-gold(I) adduct, [Au(C(6)F(5))(C(26)H(23)P)]·C(4)H(10)O, exists in a linear coordination environment [C-Au-C = 174.1 (2)°]. The mol-ecule has a short intra-molecular contact involving an aromatic H atom (Au⋯H = 2.64 Å); two adjacent mol-ecules are linked by an Au⋯H(ylid) inter-action (Au⋯H = 3.14 Å).
