Abstract: The title compound, [AuBr(C<subscript>6</subscript>H<subscript>11</subscript>NS)]<subscript>n</subscript>, formed through an Au<superscript>III</superscript>→Au<superscript>I</superscript> reduction process, presents a polymeric structure including Au chains with alternating Au-Au distances of 3.0898 (8) and 3.1181 (8) Å. The coordination geometry is best described on the basis of linear [AuBr(C<subscript>6</subscript>H<subscript>11</subscript>NS)] molecules, which are associated into a one-dimensional polymer via a common aurophilic interaction.
