The asymmetric unit of the title salt, [C22H20O2P]2+[TeI6]2−, consists of one triphenyl(5-oxooxolan-3-yl)phosphanium cation and one half of a hexaiodidotellurate(IV) dianion. The Te atom is located at an inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated by six I atoms. The Te—I bond lengths range from 2.9255 (9) to 2.9439 (10) Å. The I—Te—I angles between cis-iodide ligands are in the range 87.85 (3)–92.15 (3)°. In the crystal, the components are connected by C—HI interactions. In the final refinement of the compound a void of 32 Å3 was observed.
