An X-ray crystal structure determination shows the gold(I) complex with four methyldiphenylphosphine ligands to have 4/ symmetry with all Au-P bond lengths equal and nearly tetrahedral angles; further, 31P n.m.r. spectroscopy at -80 deg C indicates that the nearly tetrahedral species persists in solution.
