title: Chlorido[1-(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)cobaltocenium]gold(I) hexa-fluoridophosphate.
abstract: In the cobaltocenium group of the title compound, [AuCo(C(5)H(5))(C(17)H(14)P)Cl]PF(6), the substituted cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cps) and the unsubstituted cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) ring planes are almost parallel, making a dihedral angle of 3.1 (3)°. The C atoms in Cp and Cps are in an eclipsed conformation. The Au(I) atom is coordinated by a P atom from the diphenyl-phosphanyl group and a Cl atom in an almost linear arrangement [P-Au-Cl = 178.15-(7)°]. Two hexa-fluorido-phosphate anions are each located on a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal, the complex cations and hexa-fluorido-phosphate anions are linked via inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds.
