Tetraphenylphosphonium chloride
(重定向自Tetraphenylphosphonium)




Tetraphenylphosphonium chloride is the chemical compound with the formula (C6H5)4PCl, abbreviated Ph4PCl or PPh4Cl. Tetraphenylphosphonium and especially tetraphenylarsonium salts were formerly of interest in gravimetric analysis of perchlorate and related oxyanions. This colourless salt is used to generate lipophilic salts from inorganic and organometallic anions. Thus, Ph4P is useful as a phase-transfer catalyst, again because it allows inorganic anions to dissolve in organic solvents.
