  • Description Phosphine is a colorless, flammable gas that is heavier than air and has a characteristic odor described as being similar to decaying fish. Pure phosphine is claimed to be odorless, even at a level of 200 ppm. The odor threshold for commercially available phosphine ranges from 0.02 ppm to 3 ppm. It has an autoignition temperature of 100°F (37.8°C) and ignites spontaneously when traces of other phosphorous hydrides such as diphosphine are present. For all practical purposes, phosphine should be handled both as a pyrophoric and highly toxic gas. Phosphine is stable at room temperature and begins to decompose at about 707°F (375°C), with complete decomposition at about 1100°F (593°C). Phosphine is readily oxidized by common oxidizers such as potassium permanganate and sodium hypochlorite. Unlike arsine, it will have some reaction with the alkalis. Phosphine is a strong reducing agent and can precipitate a number of heavy metals from solutions of their salts. It will react violently with oxidizers such as oxygen, chlorine, fluorine, and nitric oxide. Phosphine is shipped in the pure form as a liquefied gas, and is also commonly available as a mixture when blended with hydrogen or inert gases.
  • Physical properties Colorless gas with an odor of decaying fish; flammable; burns with a luminous flame; density 1.492 g/L; liquefies at -87.7°C; solidifies at -133°C; critical temperature 51.35°C; critical pressure 64.55 atm; slightly soluble in water; the solution is weakly basic.
  • Uses Phosphine is used in a variety of organic preparations and in the preparation of phosphonium halides. It is commonly used (in gas mixtures) as a doping agent for n-type semiconductors, and as a pure gas in the manufacture of light-emitting diodes. It is also used as a fumigant at low concentrations for grain. Phosphine is used as a fumigant, in the synthesis of many organophosphorus compounds, and as a doping agent for electronic components. It occurs in the waste gases from plants manufacturing semiconductors and thin-film photovoltaic cells. The presence of bound residues of phosphine in fumigated commodities has been reported (Rangaswamy and Sasikala 1986). Phosphine is the most widely used fumigant for insect con-trol in the durable commodities throughout the world. It is increasingly used as a treatment to re-place methyl bromide especially because of its low cost, fast dispersion in the air and low residues. Versatility of use is a major advantage for phosphine, as it can be used in a variety of storage buildings, during transit (e.g. in ship holds) or in plastic sheet enclosures. It is close to an ideal fumigant except for few drawbacks: slow activity, the rapid increase in insect resistance, flammability at higher concentrations (>900 ppm) and corrosion of copper, silver and gold. The phosphine resistance among the insect populations was found to be the result of selection pressure caused by inadequate fumigations in the storage units; storage facilities not adequately sealed before fumigation; and fumigant concentrations not being monitored. The understanding of phosphine resistance mechanism, improved monitoring tactics and management of resistance are the priorities in tackling the problem (Rajendran, 2001). The other problems like corrosion and flammability were found to be limited by using the combination of heat (30–36℃), carbon dioxide (3–7%) and phosphine at 80–100 ppm, while achieving a complete insect control.

Ruthenium complexes with vinyl, styryl, and vinylpyrenyl ligands: A case of non-innocence in organometallic chemistry

10.1021/ja075547t

The research focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical behavior of mononuclear ruthenium complexes with vinyl, styryl, and vinylpyrenyl ligands. These complexes were designed to investigate the effects of extending the π-system of the vinyl ligand, manipulating the electron density at the metal atom, and varying the degree of coordinative saturation at the metal atom on bonding, anodic behavior, and the metal versus ligand contribution to the redox-orbitals. The reactants used in the synthesis include ruthenium hydride complexes, terminal alkynes, and various phosphine ligands. The complexes were characterized using spectroscopic methods such as multinuclear NMR, IR, electronic spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Electrochemical analyses, including cyclic voltammetry, IR-spectroelectrochemistry, and ESR spectroscopy, were employed to study the redox behavior and electronic structure of the complexes. The experimental findings were further supported by quantum chemical calculations, which provided insights into the metal versus ligand contributions to the frontier molecular orbitals and the nature of the oxidation processes.

Perfluoroaryl Azide Staudinger Reaction: A Fast and Bioorthogonal Reaction

10.1002/anie.201705346

The research focuses on the Perfluoroaryl Azide-Staudinger Reaction, a fast and bioorthogonal chemical reaction between perfluoroaryl azides (PFAAs) and aryl phosphines. The study reports a high reaction rate constant of 18 M-1 s-1 under ambient conditions, leading to the formation of stable iminophosphorane products that are resistant to hydrolysis and aza-Wittig reactions. The experiments involved mixing PFAA 1a and phosphine 2a in acetonitrile, observing the immediate color change and subsequent release of nitrogen gas, and confirming the product structure through single crystal X-ray crystallography. Kinetic analyses were performed to determine the reaction order and rate constants, with solvent effects and substituent effects on the PFAA core and phosphine structures being investigated. The bioorthogonality of the reaction was tested using the N-acetylneuraminic acid metabolic pathway, with PFAA-derivatized sugars being taken up by A549 cells and successfully labeled with phosphine-derivatized fluorescent bovine serum albumin. The experiments utilized techniques such as 1H NMR for monitoring reaction progress, flow cytometry for analyzing cell labeling, and fluorescence microscopy for visualizing labeled cells.

Ruthenium(II) and ruthenium(IV) complexes containing hemilabile heterodifunctional iminophosphorane-phosphine ligands Ph2PCH2P(=NR)Ph2

10.1039/b110442j

The study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of ruthenium(II) and ruthenium(IV) complexes containing hemilabile heterodifunctional iminophosphorane-phosphine ligands, which are of interest due to their potential applications in catalysis. The researchers used a series of iminophosphorane-phosphine ligands with different substituents (R = SiMe3, p-C6F4CN, p-C5F4N) to prepare various complexes. These ligands were coordinated to ruthenium centers in different modes, either as monodentate (κ1-P) or bidentate (κ2-P,N) ligands, forming neutral and cationic complexes. The purpose of these chemicals was to investigate the hemilabile properties of the ligands, which refer to their ability to coordinate to a metal center in more than one mode, potentially enhancing the catalytic activity and selectivity of the resulting complexes. The study provides insights into the coordination chemistry of these heterodifunctional ligands and their potential use in homogeneous catalysis.

Kinetics of the Exchange of Hydrogen between Phosphine and Water: A Kinetic Estimate of the Acid and Base Strengths of Phosphine

10.1021/ja01640a072

The study investigates the kinetics of hydrogen exchange between phosphine (PH?) and water containing 3% deuterium. The researchers measured the rate of approach to equilibrium by tracking the uptake of deuterium in phosphine. They found that under conditions where diffusion from the gaseous to the liquid phase is not rate-determining, the fraction of exchange follows the McKay rate law. The study involved using various buffer solutions, including those with acids like mandelic, formic, benzoic, acetic, and trimethylacetic acids, to explore acid catalysis. For base catalysis, sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate, disodium phosphate-trisodium phosphate buffers, and unbuffered 0.01 M sodium hydroxide were used. The experiments revealed that the reaction is first order with respect to hydronium ion (H?O?) and hydroxyl ion (OH?) concentration, with rate constants of 3.6 liters/mole second and 0.40 liters/mole second at 27°C, respectively. The study also explored the effects of general acid and base catalysis, inert salt concentration, phosphine pressure, and temperature on the exchange rate. The results provided insights into the acid and base properties of phosphine in aqueous solution, with estimates of the base dissociation constant (KB) and acid dissociation constant (KA) of phosphine.

One-pot sequential Cu-catalyzed reduction and Pd-catalyzed arylation of silyl enol ethers

10.1021/ol048313c

The study presents a novel one-pot method for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched α-arylated cycloalkanones through the sequential Cu-catalyzed reduction and Pd-catalyzed arylation of silyl enol ethers. The process involves the use of enantiomerically enriched diphenylsilyl enol ethers, prepared from Cu-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate reduction, which are then utilized in the Pd-catalyzed arylation of various aryl bromides. This approach provides an efficient route to α-arylated cycloalkanones with excellent levels of enantiomeric and diastereomeric purity, overcoming the limitations of direct ketone arylation. Key chemicals used include copper (Cu) and palladium (Pd) catalysts, silyl enol ethers, aryl bromides, and various phosphine ligands. The purpose of these chemicals is to facilitate the selective formation of the desired arylation products with high stereochemical control, which are valuable in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Paramagnetic ruthenium( III) cyclometallated complex. Synthesis, spectroscopic studies and electron-transfer properties

10.1016/S0022-328X(97)00137-X

The research involves the synthesis, spectroscopic studies, and electron-transfer properties of paramagnetic ruthenium(III) cyclometallated complexes. The purpose of the study was to develop new paramagnetic trivalent ruthenium cyclometallated complexes, specifically focusing on the complex Ru(III)(C,N,O)(N,O)(PPh3) (2) in a mixed phenolato-imine and phosphine ligand environment. The researchers observed the selective activation of the ortho C-H bond of the pendant phenyl ring of the ligand L, leading to the formation of the stable cyclometallated complex 2, which was facilitated by the presence of a methylene (CH2) group in the amine fragment, allowing for the formation of a thermodynamically stable five-membered metallacycle. The study concluded that the presence of phenolato oxygen in combination with the Ru-C bond in complex 2 played a crucial role in stabilizing the ruthenium ion in the paramagnetic trivalent state. Key chemicals used in the process included Ru(PPh3)3Cl2, o-(OH)C6H4C(H)=N-CH2C6H5 (HL), and various solvents and reagents for spectroscopic and electrochemical studies.

Late-Stage Diversification by Selectivity Switch in meta-C-H Activation: Evidence for Singlet Stabilization

10.1021/acscatal.9b04592

The research explores a novel approach to achieve late-stage diversification of complex molecules through a selectivity switch in meta-C–H activation using ruthenium catalysis. The purpose of this study is to develop a method for the controlled functionalization of inert C–H bonds, particularly focusing on switching the selectivity from ortho- to meta-C–H bonds in aromatic compounds, which has been a challenging area in organic synthesis. The researchers utilized key chemicals such as ruthenium(II) complexes, carboxylates, and phosphines to facilitate this selective transformation. They discovered that the cooperative action of carboxylates and phosphines in the presence of ruthenium(II) catalysts enabled a switch in site selectivity, allowing for remote meta-C–H functionalization. This method was demonstrated to be effective with a wide range of substrates, including sensitive biomolecules like nucleosides, lipids, peptides, and fluorescent tags. The study concludes that this approach, supported by mechanistic insights from density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental data, provides a robust and versatile platform for the late-stage modification of complex molecules, which could have significant applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds.
