In the title complex salt, [{(η5-C5Me5)Rh}2(μ-Cl)3]PF6, the dinuclear, single-charged cation is formed by the cojoining of two classic (η5-C5Me5)RhCl3 `piano-stool' units by bridging of the three choride ligand `legs'. The crystal structure shows several close H...F contacts between the hexafluoridophosphate counter-ions and the C5Me5 ligands.
