Abstract

The title compound, [Au(C6HF4S)(C18H15P)], with both aromatic and fluorinated aromatic rings in its molecular system, shows dimerization through a quadrupole-quadrupole stacking synthon. The dimer further aggregates through intermolecular pi-pi stacking and C-H...pi interactions, giving a supramolecular three-dimensional network.
