The reaction between cis-Ru(bpy){sub 2}Cl{sub 2}(where bpy = bipyridine) and the diphosphine ligand 1,1 {prime} - bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) in the presence of AgBF{sub 4} has led to the isolation of the title compound [Ag(dppf)Cl]{sub 2}. [Ag(dppf)Cl]{sub 2} has been structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, which confirms the bridging mode adopted by the ancillary dppf ligand and the centrosymmetric nature of this molecule. Dimeric [Ag(dppf)Cl]{sub 2} crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1, a = 11.426(1) {angstrom}, b = 11.509(1) {angstrom}, c = 12.786(1) {angstrom}, {alpha} = 68.96(2){degrees}, {beta} = 70.66(2){degrees} = {gamma} = 71.24(2){degrees}, V = 1441(1) {angstrom}{sup 3}, Z = 1, d{sub calc} = 1.608 g {center_dot} cm{sup {minus}3}; R = 0.0445, R{sub 2} = 0.0566 for 4486 observed reflections with l {ge} 3{sigma}(l).
