A non-solvated form of [(Z)-O-methyl-N-(2-methyl­phen­yl)­thio­carbamato-κS](tri­phenyl­phosphane-κP)gold(I): crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

The title compound, [Au(C9H10NOS)(C18H15P)], features a near linear P—Au—S arrangement defined by phosphane P and thiol­ate S atoms with the minor distortion from the ideal [P—Au—S is 177.61 (2)°] being traced in part to the close intra­molecular approach of an O atom [Au⋯O = 3.040 (2) Å]. The packing features supra­molecular layers lying parallel to (011) sustained by a combination of C—H⋯π and π–π [inter-centroid distance = 3.8033 (17) Å] inter­actions. The mol­ecular structure and packing are compared with those determined for a previously reported hemi-methanol solvate [Kuan et al. (2008[Kuan, F. S., Ho, S. Y., Tadbuppa, P. P. & Tiekink, E. R. T. (2008). CrystEngComm, 10, 548-564.]). CrystEngComm, 10, 548–564]. Relatively minor differences are noted in the conformations of the rings in the Au-containing mol­ecules. 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.
