The crystal structure of (OC)AuCl has been determined and refined to R 0.037 (space group Cmcm, a = 407.1(1), b = 1042.2(4), c = 532.1(3) pm, Z =4). The structure consists of discrete, exactly linear molecules; all atoms lie on the special positions 0, y, 1/4. The bond lengths involving the light atoms are affected by libration. The shortest Au ··· Au contacts between molecules are 338 pm.
