The structure of a novel metallamacrocyclic phosphine gold(I) thiolate cluster, [Au9(mu-dppm)4(mu-p-tc)6](PF6)3, where dppm = bis(diphenylphosphine)methane and p-tc = p-thiocresolate, is reported and shows AuAu attractions of approximately 3.0 A and gold(I) atoms linked to thiolate and phosphine ligands in distorted trigonal and nearly linear geometries.
