[μ-1,1'-Bis(diphenyl-phosphino)ferrocene]bis-{[(Z)-O-ethyl N-phenyl-thio-carbamato-κS]gold(I)} dichloro-methane solvate.

The binuclear title compound, [Au(2)Fe(C(9)H(10)NOS)(2)(C(17)H(14)P)(2)]·CH(2)Cl(2), which has the Fe atom located on a crystallographic centre of inversion, crystallizes as a 1:1 dichloro-methane 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 intra-molecular Au⋯O contact [3.080 (5) Å]. The primary inter-molecular contacts between binuclear mol-ecules 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 mol-ecules reside.
