Phosphorus pentaiodideis a hypotheticalinorganic compoundwith formulaPI5.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 asPI3·I2,but certainly not as[PI4]+I...) ".[3]

Claims

[edit]

Phosphorus pentaiodide was reported to be a brown-black crystalline solid melting at 41 °C produced by the reaction oflithium iodideandphosphorus pentachlorideinmethyl iodide,however, this claim is disputed and probably generated a mixture ofphosphorus triiodideandiodine.[1][4]

Although phosphorus pentaiodide has been claimed to exist in the form of[PI4]+I(tetraiodophosphonium iodide), experimental and theoretical data refutes this claim.[5][1]

Derivatives

[edit]

Unlike the elusivePI5,the[PI4]+cation (tetraiodophosphonium cation) is widely known. This cation is known with the anionstetraiodoaluminate[AlI4],hexafluoroarsenate[AsF6],hexafluoroantimonate[SbF6]and tetraiodogallate[GaI4].[4][5]
