Logarithmic phi, or 1200*ϕ cents = 1941.6 cents (or, octave-reduced, 741.6 cents) is useful as a generator, for example in Erv Wilson's "Golden Horagrams". As a frequency relation it is [math]\displaystyle{ 2^{\varphi} }[/math], or [math]\displaystyle{ 2^{\varphi - 1} = 2^{1/\varphi} }[/math] when octave-reduced.
Logarithmic phi is not to be confused with acoustic phi, which is 833.1¢.
