Abstract Treatment of tris[(triphenylphosphine)gold(I)]-sulfonium tetrafluoroborate with AgBF4 (molar ratio 2:1) in tetrahydrofuran affords a hepta-nuclear mixed-metal cluster trication {[(Ph3P)6Au6AgS2](thf)}3+ as the tetrafluorobor­ate salt. The crystal structure of the compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The sil­ver atom is found in a bridging position between the two Au3S units with short contacts to both sulfur atoms and to three out of six gold atoms. The coordination sphere of the silver atom is complemented by a tetrahydrofuran molecule. In di(tri)chlorom ethane solutions there is rapid site exchange of the silver coordination as shown by virtual equivalence of the phosphine ligands on the NMR time scale at ambient temperature.
