[μ-1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]bis{[(Z)-O-ethyl N-phenylthiocarbamato-κS]gold(I)} dichloromethane solvate

The binuclear title compound, [Au2Fe(C9H10NOS)2(C17H14P)2]·CH2Cl2, which has the Fe atom located on a crystallographic centre of inversion, crystallizes as a 1:1 dichloromethane solvate, which is disordered about a centre of inversion. There is a small deviation from linearity defined by the SP donor set [S1—Au—P1 angle is 175.35 (5) °] which is due to an intramolecular Au⋯O contact [3.080 (5) Å]. The primary intermolecular contacts between binuclear molecules are of the type C—H⋯π, and are arranged so as to form columns in the a-axis direction in which the disordered solvent molecules reside.
