title: (m-Phenyl-enedimethyl-ene)bis-(triphenyl-phospho-nium) bis-[chlorido(penta-fluoro-phen-yl)aurate(I)] dichloro-methane disolvate.
abstract: The title compound, (C(44)H(38)P(2))[AuCl(C(6)F(5))](2)·2CH(2)Cl(2), crystallizes with a twofold rotation axis through the central benzene ring in the bis-phospho-nium dication. In the crystal, the dications and anions are ordered into columns running parallel to the c axis by contacts of the pro-ylidic CH(2) groups with the Cl atom of one and an ortho-F atom of another anion. The space between the columns is occupied by CH(2)Cl(2) solvent mol-ecules.
