The title compound, [Mg(C12H10O4P)(C3H7NO)4](CF3O3S), consists of diphenylphosphate anions linked into infinite chains by bridging magnesium ions, which are also coordinated by dimethylformamide molecules. A non-coordinated trifluoromethanesulfonate counter-ion provides charge balance. Both crystallographically distinct magnesium cations occupy special positions with site symmetry.
