[(Z)-O-Ethyl N-(4-nitro-phen-yl)thio-carbamato-κS](triethyl-phosphine-κP)gold(I)

In the title compound, [Au(C(9)H(9)N(2)O(3)S)(C(6)H(15)P)], two virtually identical mol-ecules comprise the asymmetric unit. These are connected by Au⋯Au [3.6796 (4) Å] and Au⋯S [3.6325 (18) and 3.5471 (18) Å] contacts, forming a dimeric aggregate. The presence of intra-molecular Au⋯O contacts [2.993 (5) and 2.957 (5) Å] is responsible for the slight deviations from the ideal linear coordination environments about the Au(I) ions. The conformation about the central C=N double bond is Z. Supra-molecular chains sustained by π-π [3.573 (4) Å] and C-H⋯π inter-actions are evident in the crystal structure. These are connected into layers via weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions involving the nitro-group O atoms.
