The binuclear title compound, [Au2Fe(C9H10NOS)2(C17H14P)2]·CH2Cl2, which has the Fe atom located on a crystallographic centre of inversion, crystallizes as a 1:1 dichloromethane 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 intramolecular AuO contact [3.080 (5) Å]. The primary intermolecular contacts between binuclear molecules are of the type C—Hπ, and are arranged so as to form columns in the a-axis direction in which the disordered solvent molecules reside.

Each gold atom in the binuclear title compound, [Au2(C9H9N2O3S)2(C25H22P2)], is coordinated within an S,P-donor set that defines a slightly distorted linear geometry [S—Au—P angles = 172.77 (6) and 173.84 (6)°], with the distortion due in part to a close intramolecular AuO contact [2.968 (11) and 2.963 (4) Å]. The molecule adopts a U-shaped conformation allowing for the formation of an aurophilic AuAu interaction [3.2320 (5) Å]. Molecules are consolidated in the crystal structure by C—Hπ interactions. Disorder was noted for one of the ethoxy groups with two orientations being resolved in a 0.679 (16):0.321 (16) ratio.
