RbAuC2(NS)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent S(1) atoms. In the second Au site, Au(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent S(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one N(1) and one S(1) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one N(2) and one S(2) atom. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and one C(2) atom. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Au(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Au(2) and one C(2) atom.
