In the title compound, [Cu(C27H26P2)2][GaCl4], the CuI atom in the complex cation is P,P′-chelated by two 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)propane ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, while the GaIII cation is coordinated by four chloride anions in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal, weak C—H...π interactions occur between adjacent complex cations.
