The title compound, dichlorobis(methyldiphenylphosphine-P) [(1,2-η)-3,3-diphenylcyclopropene]oxotungsten, [WCl2O(C15H12)(C13H13P)2], is a mononuclear complex of tungsten with an approximately octahedral environment around the metal atom. The ligand, 3,3-diphenylcyclopropene, is bonded to the W atom in a η2-geometry with effectively identical metal-to-carbon bond distances [W—C1 = 2.133 (7) Å and W—C2 2.131 (7) Å].
