The title compound, C(36)H(30)NP(2) (+)·Cl(-), crystallized in the solvate-free form from a CH(3)CN/OEt(2) solution. The chloride anion and the N atom of the [(Ph(3)P)(2)N](+) cation are located on a twofold axis, yielding overall symmetry 2 for the cation. The central P-N-P angle [133.0 (3)°] is at the low end of the range of observed P-N-P angles.
