The title compound [Ag4I4(C21H21P)4], crystallizes on a centre of symmetry. Each Ag atom is surrounded by one phosphine ligand and three iodide anions, forming a distorted tetra­hedral configuration. The Ag—P distance is 2.4666 (7) Å and the Ag—I distances are 2.7972 (6), 2.8322 (10) and 3.1956 (6) Å.

Experimental. The intensity data were collected on a Bruker X8 Apex II diffractometer using an exposure time of XX s/frame. A total of XXXX frames were collected with a frame width of 0.5° covering up to θ = 28.30° with 99.9% completeness accomplished.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
