[(Z)-O-Methyl N-(3-chlorophenyl)thiocarbamato-kappa S](tricyclohexylphosphine-kappa P)gold(I)

Two independent molecules comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Au(C(8)H(7)ClNOS)(C(18)H(33)P)], which differ in the relative orientations of each of the cyclohexyl groups as well as the benzene ring. In each molecule, the Au atom is coordinated within a S, P-donor set that defines a slightly distorted linear geometry [S-Au-P = 175.10 (5) and 177.26 (5)degrees for the two molecules], with the distortion due in part to the close intramolecular approach of the O atom [Au center dot center dot center dot O contacts = 3.054 (4) and 3.013 (4) angstrom, respectively, for the two molecules]
