Chlorido[tris-(3-fluoro-phen-yl)phosphine]gold(I).

In the title gold complex, [AuCl(C(18)H(12)F(3)P)], the P-Au-Cl unit is nearly linear, with an angle of 178.13 (5)°. The three phosphine-substituted benzene rings make dihedral angles of 77.7 (3), 84.4 (3) and 77.4 (3)° with each other. Two of the three F atoms are disordered over two positions, with refined site occupancies of 0.591 (11):0.409 (11) and 0.730 (12):0.270 (12). In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds.
