Abstract

The title compound, [AuCl(C 25H 22NPS)], crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit in which the thiophene fragments are disordered over two sets of sites with 0.537(10):0.463(10) and 0.701(9):0.299(9) occupancy ratios. In both cases, the thiophene ring is rotated by approximately 180° for the second component. Important geometrical parameters include Au-P = 2.235(2) and 2.237(2) Å, Au-Cl = 2.286(2) and 2.292(2) Å, and P-Au-Cl = 177.39(8) and 172.63(7)°. Weak intermolecular C-H··· Cl interactions are observed in the crystal structure.
