Infobox references

Phosphorus pentaiodide is a hypothetical inorganic compound with formula PI
5
. The existence of this compound has been claimed intermittently since the early 1900s.[2] The claim is disputed: "The pentaiodide does not exist (except perhaps as PI
3
 · I
2
, but certainly not as [PI
4
]+
I
...)".[3]

Claims

Phosphorus pentaiodide was reported to be a brown-black crystalline solid melting at 41 °C produced by the reaction of lithium iodide and phosphorus pentachloride in methyl iodide, however, this claim is disputed and probably generated a mixture of phosphorus triiodide and iodine.[1][4]

Although phosphorus pentaiodide has been claimed to exist in the form of [PI
4
]+
I
(tetraiodophosphonium iodide), experimental and theoretical data refutes this claim.[5][1]

Derivatives

Unlike the elusive PI
5
, the [PI
4
]+
cation (tetraiodophosphonium cation) is widely known. This cation is known with the anions tetraiodoaluminate [AlI
4
]
, hexafluoroarsenate [AsF
6
]
, hexafluoroantimonate [SbF
6
]
and tetraiodogallate [GaI

]
. [4][5]
