Phosphine (IUPAC name: phosphane) is a colorless, flammable, highly toxic compound with the chemical formula P H 3, classed as a pnictogen hydride. Pure phosphine is odorless, but technical grade samples have a highly unpleasant odor like rotting fish, due to the presence of substituted phosphine and diphosphane ( P 2 H 4 ).
They are toxic to rodents for the same reason they are important to humans: they affect calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the body. Vitamins D are essential in minute quantities (few IUs per kilogram body weight daily, only a fraction of a milligram), and like most fat soluble vitamins , they are toxic in larger doses, causing ...
Tributylphosphine reacts with oxygen to give the corresponding phosphine oxide (here tributylphosphine oxide): 2 P(CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3) 3 + O 2 → 2 O=P(CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3) 3. Because this reaction is so fast, the compound is usually handled under an inert atmosphere. The phosphine is also easily alkylated.

The toxicity of aluminium phosphide is attributed to the liberation of phosphine gas, a cytotoxic compound that causes free radical mediated injury, inhibits vital cellular enzymes and is directly corrosive to tissues. The following reactions release phosphine when AlP reacts with fluids in the body: AlP + 3 H 2 O → Al(OH) 3 + PH 3, and
Compounds related to phosphine oxides include phosphine imides (R 3 PNR') and related chalcogenides (R 3 PE, where E = S, Se, Te). These compounds are some of the most thermally stable organophosphorus compounds. In general, they are less basic than the corresponding phosphine oxides, which can adduce to thiophosphoryl halides: [7]: 73
Zinc phosphide (Zn 3 P 2) is an inorganic chemical compound.It is a grey solid, although commercial samples are often dark or even black. It is used as a rodenticide. [5] Zn 3 P 2 is a II-V semiconductor with a direct band gap of 1.5 eV [6] and may have applications in photovoltaic cells. [7]
