title: Crystal structure of chlorido-[trans-1-(di-phenyl-phosphane-thioyl-κS)-2-(di-phenyl-phosphano-yl)ethene]gold(I) di-chloro-methane hemisolvate.
abstract: The title compound, [AuCl(C26H22OP2S)]·0.5CH2Cl2, crystallizes with a trans-O-P⋯P-S geometry of the groups either side of the C=C double bond, which prevents any intra-molecular contact between the Au and O atoms. The Au(I) atom exhibits a nearly linear coordination [Cl-Au-S = 177.55 (4)°]. The mol-ecules associate to form broad ribbons parallel to the c axis via two C-H⋯O, one C-H⋯Cl(Au) and one Au⋯Cl inter-action.
