Abstract: In the title compound, [Au₃Cl₂(C₂₅H₂₂P₂)₂](PF₆), the cation possesses a triangular Au₃ core [Au-Au distances 3.1525 (4), 3.2770 (4) and 3.1922 (4) Å], two sides of which are bridged by dppm ligands [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane]. One phenyl group is disordered over two positions in a 0.65:0.35 ratio. The structure of the cation is compared with those in three other salts reported previously.
