A non-solvated form of [(Z)-O-methyl-N-(2-methyl-phen-yl)-thio-carbamato-?S](tri-phenyl-phosphane-?P)gold(I): crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Au(C₉H₁₀NOS)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], features a near linear P-Au-S arrangement defined by phosphane P and thiol-ate S atoms with the minor distortion from the ideal [P-Au-S is 177.61?(2)°] being traced in part to the close intra-molecular approach of an O atom [Au?O = 3.040?(2)?Å]. The packing features supra-molecular layers lying parallel to (011) sustained by a combination of C-H?? and ?-? [inter-centroid distance = 3.8033?(17)?Å] inter-actions. The mol-ecular structure and packing are compared with those determined for a previously reported hemi-methanol solvate [Kuan et al. (2008 ?). CrystEngComm, 10, 548-564]. Relatively minor differences are noted in the conformations of the rings in the Au-containing mol-ecules. A Hirshfeld surface analysis confirms the similarity in the packing with the most notable differences relating to the formation of C-H?S contacts between the constituents of the solvate.
