The geometry about the Ag atom in the title complex, C54H45AgIP3, is distorted tetrahedral with the Ag-I bond length 2.8660 (11) Å and Ag-P distances 2.5335 (14), 2.5589 (12) and 2.6814 (12) Å. The P-Ag-P/I angles show large variations [104.54 (3) to 116.10 (4)°] from the ideal tetrahedral value (109.45°). These distortions, as well as those around the P atoms in the three triphenylphosphine ligands, may be attributed to several intramolecular (H...I and H...C/H) short contacts.
