The structure of the title compound consists of [Au(PEt(3))(2)](+) cat
ion and [Au(S2C6H4)(2)](-) anion pairs. The gold(I) cations exhibit li
near coordination to two PEt(3) ligands. The geometry of the gold(III)
anions is square planar with four S atoms coordinated to the Au cente
r. Typical Au-S and Au-P distances are observed.
