Abstract: In the title compound, [Mo(C₅H₅)(CO)₂(C₃H₉P)₂]CF₃SO₃, the cationic complex displays a classical four-legged piano-stool square-pyramidal geometry with a trans configuration of the basal ligands around the Mo atom. The cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand occupies the apical position of the piano-stool configuration. The average Mo-P bond length of the two trans PMe₃ ligands is 2.474 (5) Å and the Mo-Cp centroid distance is 2.003 (2) Å.
