Abstract
In the title compound, [Au2Cl2(C30H32As2)], each Au atom is coordinated by As and Cl atoms in an approximately linear geometry. In the crystal, molecules are linked into two-dimensional networks parallel to the ac plane via intermolecular C—H⋯Cl interactions. One of the phenyl rings is disordered over two positions, with site occupancies of 0.518 (8) and 0.482 (8).
