%X To aid in the elucidation of catalytic reaction mechanism of palladacycles, we found that reaction of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid with a phosphapalladacycle resulted in elimination of the palladium and formation of the title phospholium salt, C20H26P+，CF3SO3 . Selected geometrical parameters include P！biphenyl (av.) = 1.801 (3)   and P！t-Bu (av.) = 1.858 (3)  , and significant distortion of the tetrahedral P-atom environment with biphenyl！P！biphenyl = 93.93 (13)＜ and t-Bu！P！t-Bu = 118.82 (14)＜. In the crystal, weak C！H...O interactions lead to channels along the c axis that are occupied by CF3SO3  anions.
