Phosphonium iodide is a chemical compound with the formula PH4I. It is an example of a salt containing an unsubstituted phosphonium cation (PH+4). Phosphonium iodide is commonly used as storage for phosphine[2] and as a reagent for substituting phosphorus into organic molecules.[3]
Preparation
Phosphonium iodide is prepared by mixing diphosphorus tetraiodide (P2I4) with elemental phosphorus and water at 80 °C and allowing the salt to sublime.[4][5]

Properties
Structure
Its crystal structure has the tetragonal space group P4/nmm, which is a distorted version of the NH4Cl crystal structure; the unit cell has approximate dimensions 634×634×462 pm.[6] The hydrogen bonding in the system causes the PH+4 cations to orient such that the hydrogen atoms point toward the I− anions.[7]
Chemical
At 62 °C and atmospheric pressure, phosphonium iodide sublimates and dissociates reversibly into phosphine and hydrogen iodide (HI).[1] It oxidizes slowly in air to give iodine and phosphorus oxides; it is hygroscopic[4] and is hydrolyzed into phosphine and HI:[8]

4I ⇌ PH
3 + HI
Phosphine gas may be devolved from phosphonium iodide by mixing an aqueous solution with potassium hydroxide:[9]

4I + KOH → PH

It reacts with elemental iodine and bromine in a nonpolar solution to give phosphorus halides; for example:
- 2PH
4I + 5I
2 → P
2I
4 + 8HI[4]
Phosphonium iodide is a powerful substitution reagent in organic chemistry; for example, it can convert a pyrilium into a phosphinine via substitution.[3] In 1951, Glenn Halstead Brown found that PH4I reacts with acetyl chloride to produce an unknown phosphine derivative, possibly CH
