Abstract: The title compound, (C₂₄H₂₀P)₂[Mo(C₇H₄O₄)₂O₂], contains a distorted octahedral molybdenum(VI) complex having the characteristic cis-MoO₂²⁺ group and the ligand 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid coordinated through the two phenolate O atoms, while the carboxyl group is not deprotonated. No - overlap between the benzene rings of the ligands or those of the tetraphenylphosphonium ions is observed.
