Chemical compound
Tetraphenyldiphosphine is the organophosphorus compound with the formula [PPh2]2, where Ph = phenyl (C6H5). It is a white, air-sensitive solid that dissolves in nonpolar solvents. It is a centrosymmetric molecule with a P-P bond of 2.2592 Å.[1]
Tetraphenyldiphosphine is produced by reductive coupling of chlorodiphenylphosphine:
- 2 Ph2PCl + 2 Na → Ph2P-PPh2 + 2 NaCl
The compound is used as a source of the Ph2P− group.[2]
- Ph2P-PPh2 + 2 Na → + 2 NaPPh2
