In the title compound, [Au(C₁₄H₈NO₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], the AuPPh₃ group is located at the amino group. The Au-N and Au-P distances are 2.019 (3) and 2.2420 (8) A, respectively. The amino group H atom is involved in an intramolecular hydrogen bond with a carbonyl O atom. The bond-length distribution in the aminoanthraquinone ligand is slightly different from that in the free ligand, manifesting itself as a more pronounced contribution from the quinoid structure.
