The title compound, [AuCl(C25H22NPS)], crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit in which the thiophene fragments are disordered over two sets of sites with 0.537 (10):0.463 (10) and 0.701 (9):0.299 (9) occupancy ratios. In both cases, the thiophene ring is rotated by approximately 180° for the second component. Important geometrical parameters include Au—P = 2.235 (2) and 2.237 (2) Å, Au—Cl = 2.286 (2) and 2.292 (2) Å, and P—Au—Cl = 177.39 (8) and 172.63 (7)°. Weak intermolecular C—HCl interactions are observed in the crystal structure.
