The title compound, (C 24 H 20 P) 2 [Mo(C 7 H 4 O 4 ) 2 O 2 ], contains a distorted octahedral molybdenum(VI) complex having the characteristic cis ‐MoO 2 2+ group and the ligand 2,3‐dihydroxybenzoic acid coordinated through the two phenolate O atoms, while the carboxyl group is not deprotonated. No π–π overlap between the benzene rings of the ligands or those of the tetraphenylphosphonium ions is observed.
