Triphenylphosphine (IUPAC name: triphenylphosphane) is a common organophosphorus compound with the formula P(C 6 H 5) 3 and often abbreviated to P Ph 3 or Ph 3 P. It is versatile compound that is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a ligand for transition metal complexes, including ones that serve as catalysts in organometallic chemistry.
Triphenylphosphine oxide (often abbreviated TPPO) is the organophosphorus compound with the formula OP(C 6 H 5) 3, also written as Ph 3 PO or PPh 3 O (Ph = C 6 H 5). It is one of the more common phosphine oxides. This colourless crystalline compound is a common but potentially useful waste product in reactions involving triphenylphosphine.
The P-O distance elongates by ca. 2%. In triphenylphosphine oxide, the P-O distance is 1.48 Å. [3] In NiCl 2 [OP(C 6 H 5) 3] 2, the distance is 1.51 Å (see figure). A similar elongation of the P-O bond is seen in cis-WCl 4 (OPPh 3) 2. [4] The trend is consistent with the stabilization of the ionic resonance structure upon complexation.
The nature of the P–O bond was once hotly debated. Some discussions invoked a role for phosphorus-centered d-orbitals in bonding, but this analysis is not supported by computational analyses. In terms of simple Lewis structure, the bond is more accurately represented as a dative bond, as is currently used to depict an amine oxide. [3] [4]
The methylation of triphenylphosphine is the first step in the preparation of the Wittig reagent. Illustrative phosphorus(V) compounds: the phosphonium ion P(CH 2 OH) 4 +, two resonance structures for the Wittig reagent Ph 3 PCH 2, and pentaphenylphosphorane, a rare pentaorganophophorus compound. The parent phosphorane (σ 5 λ 5) is PH 5 ...

Triphenylphosphine sulfide (IUPAC name: triphenyl-λ 5-phosphanethione) is the organophosphorus compound with the formula (C 6 H 5) 3 PS, usually written Ph 3 PS (where Ph = phenyl). It is a colourless solid, which is soluble in a variety of organic solvents.
Triphenylphosphine dichloride, (C 6 H 5) 3 PCl 2, is a chlorinating agent widely used in organic chemistry. Applications include the conversion of alcohols and ethers to alkyl chlorides , the cleavage of epoxides to vicinal dichlorides and the chlorination of carboxylic acids to acyl chlorides .
