60-399: A = 41.6 × 10 . Phosphine reacts with water only at high pressure and temperature, producing phosphoric acid and hydrogen: Burning phosphine in the air produces phosphoric acid ): Phosphine may be prepared in a variety of ways. Industrially it can be made by the reaction of white phosphorus with sodium or potassium hydroxide , producing potassium or sodium hypophosphite as

90-453: A by-product. Alternatively, the acid-catalyzed disproportionation of white phosphorus yields phosphoric acid and phosphine. Both routes have industrial significance; the acid route is the preferred method if further reaction of the phosphine to substituted phosphines is needed. The acid route requires purification and pressurizing. It is prepared in the laboratory by disproportionation of phosphorous acid : Alternative methods are

120-460: A luminous flame. Phosphine is a highly toxic respiratory poison, and is immediately dangerous to life or health at 50 ppm. Phosphine has a trigonal pyramidal structure. Phosphines are compounds that include PH 3 and the organophosphines , which are derived from PH 3 by substituting one or more hydrogen atoms with organic groups. They have the general formula PH 3− n R n . Phosphanes are saturated phosphorus hydrides of

150-634: A wide range of chemical file formats , including Protein Data Bank (pdb), Crystallographic Information File (cif), MDL Molfile (mol), and Chemical Markup Language (CML). There is also a JavaScript -only ( HTML5 ) version, JSmol , that can be used on computers with no Java. The Jmol applet, among other abilities, offers an alternative to the Chime plug-in, which is no longer under active development. While Jmol has many features that Chime lacks, it does not claim to reproduce all Chime functions, most notably,

180-709: Is CH 3 , alkyl, etc. Phosphine is used as a dopant in the semiconductor industry, and a precursor for the deposition of compound semiconductors . Commercially significant products include gallium phosphide and indium phosphide . Phosphine is an attractive fumigant because it is lethal to insects and rodents, but degrades to phosphoric acid, which is non-toxic. As sources of phosphine, for farm use , pellets of aluminium phosphide (AlP), calcium phosphide ( Ca 3 P 2 ), or zinc phosphide ( Zn 3 P 2 ) are used. These phosphides release phosphine upon contact with atmospheric water or rodents' stomach acid. These pellets also contain reagents to reduce

210-463: Is 0.58 D, which increases with substitution of methyl groups in the series: CH 3 PH 2 , 1.10 D; (CH 3 ) 2 PH , 1.23 D; (CH 3 ) 3 P , 1.19 D. In contrast, the dipole moments of amines decrease with substitution, starting with ammonia , which has a dipole moment of 1.47 D. The low dipole moment and almost orthogonal bond angles lead to the conclusion that in PH 3

240-433: Is a colorless, flammable, highly toxic compound with the chemical formula P H 3 , classed as a pnictogen hydride . Pure phosphine is odorless, but technical grade samples have a highly unpleasant odor like rotting fish, due to the presence of substituted phosphine and diphosphane ( P 2 H 4 ). With traces of P 2 H 4 present, PH 3 is spontaneously flammable in air ( pyrophoric ), burning with

270-646: Is also likely to occur in other regions, but has not been as closely monitored. Genetic variants that contribute to high level resistance to phosphine have been identified in the dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase gene. Identification of this gene now allows rapid molecular identification of resistant insects. Phosphine gas is denser than air and hence may collect in low-lying areas. It can form explosive mixtures with air, and may also self-ignite. Anne McCaffrey 's Dragonriders of Pern series features genetically engineered dragons that breathe fire by producing phosphine by extracting it from minerals of their native planet. In

360-565: Is heavier than air so it stays near the floor. Phosphine appears to be mainly a redox toxin, causing cell damage by inducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Resistance in insects is caused by a mutation in a mitochondrial metabolic gene. Phosphine can be absorbed into the body by inhalation. The main target organ of phosphine gas is the respiratory tract. According to the 2009 U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) pocket guide, and U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation,

390-446: Is responsible for spontaneous flammability associated with PH 3 , and also for the characteristic orange/brown color that can form on surfaces, which is a polymerisation product. He considered diphosphine's formula to be PH 2 , and thus an intermediate between elemental phosphorus, the higher polymers, and phosphine. Calcium phosphide (nominally Ca 3 P 2 ) produces more P 2 H 4 than other phosphides because of

420-447: Is slight: 0.22 cm of gas dissolves in 1 cm of water. Phosphine dissolves more readily in non-polar solvents than in water because of the non-polar P−H bonds. It is technically amphoteric in water, but acid and base activity is poor. Proton exchange proceeds via a phosphonium ( PH + 4 ) ion in acidic solutions and via phosphanide ( PH − 2 ) at high pH, with equilibrium constants K b = 4 × 10 and K

450-685: Is strictly regulated due to high toxicity. Gas from phosphine has high mortality rate and has caused deaths in Sweden and other countries. Because the previously popular fumigant methyl bromide has been phased out in some countries under the Montreal Protocol , phosphine is the only widely used, cost-effective, rapidly acting fumigant that does not leave residues on the stored product. Pests with high levels of resistance toward phosphine have become common in Asia, Australia and Brazil. High level resistance

480-444: Is the increased resistance by insects. Deaths have resulted from accidental exposure to fumigation materials containing aluminium phosphide or phosphine. It can be absorbed either by inhalation or transdermally . As a respiratory poison, it affects the transport of oxygen or interferes with the utilization of oxygen by various cells in the body. Exposure results in pulmonary edema (the lungs fill with fluid). Phosphine gas

510-537: The GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.0. A standalone application and a software development kit (SDK) exist that can be integrated into other Java applications, such as Bioclipse and Taverna . A popular feature is an applet that can be integrated into web pages to display molecules in a variety of ways. For example, molecules can be displayed as ball-and-stick models , space-filling models , ribbon diagrams , etc. Jmol supports

540-537: The Sculpt mode. Chime requires plug-in installation and Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox 2.0 on Microsoft Windows , or Netscape Communicator 4.8 on Mac OS 9 . Jmol requires Java installation and operates on a wide variety of platforms. For example, Jmol is fully functional in Mozilla Firefox , Internet Explorer , Opera , Google Chrome , and Safari . Phosphine Phosphine ( IUPAC name: phosphane )

570-475: The atmosphere of Venus in quantities that could not be explained by known abiotic processes . Later re-analysis of this work showed interpolation errors had been made, and re-analysis of data with the fixed algorithm do not result in the detection of phosphine. The authors of the original study then claimed to detect it with a much lower concentration of 1 ppb. Phosphine is a precursor to many organophosphorus compounds . It reacts with formaldehyde in

600-478: The 8 hour average respiratory exposure should not exceed 0.3 ppm. NIOSH recommends that the short term respiratory exposure to phosphine gas should not exceed 1 ppm. The Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health level is 50 ppm. Overexposure to phosphine gas causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, thirst, chest tightness, dyspnea (breathing difficulty), muscle pain, chills, stupor or syncope, and pulmonary edema. Phosphine has been reported to have

630-680: The P−H bonds are almost entirely pσ(P) – sσ(H) and phosphorus 3s orbital contributes little to the P-H bonding. For this reason, the lone pair on phosphorus is predominantly formed by the 3s orbital of phosphorus. The upfield chemical shift of it P NMR signal accords with the conclusion that the lone pair electrons occupy the 3s orbital (Fluck, 1973). This electronic structure leads to a lack of nucleophilicity in general and lack of basicity in particular (p K aH = –14), as well as an ability to form only weak hydrogen bonds . The aqueous solubility of PH 3

660-413: The form P n H n +2 , such as triphosphane . Phosphine, PH 3 , is the smallest of the phosphines and the smallest of the phosphanes. Philippe Gengembre (1764–1838), a student of Lavoisier , first obtained phosphine in 1783 by heating white phosphorus in an aqueous solution of potash (potassium carbonate). Perhaps because of its strong association with elemental phosphorus , phosphine

690-486: The global phosphorus biochemical cycle . The most likely source is reduction of phosphate in decaying organic matter, possibly via partial reductions and disproportionations , since environmental systems do not have known reducing agents of sufficient strength to directly convert phosphate to phosphine. It is also found in Jupiter 's atmosphere. In 2020 a spectroscopic analysis was reported to show signs of phosphine in

720-470: The hydrolysis zinc phosphide : Some other metal phosphides could be used including aluminium phosphide , or calcium phosphide . Pure samples of phosphine, free from P 2 H 4 , may be prepared using the action of potassium hydroxide on phosphonium iodide : Phosphine is a worldwide constituent of the Earth's atmosphere at very low and highly variable concentrations. It may contribute significantly to

750-421: The odor of decaying fish or garlic at concentrations below 0.3 ppm. The smell is normally restricted to laboratory areas or phosphine processing since the smell comes from the way the phosphine is extracted from the environment. However, it may occur elsewhere, such as in industrial waste landfills. Exposure to higher concentrations may cause olfactory fatigue . Phosphine is used for pest control , but its usage

810-435: The potential for ignition or explosion of the released phosphine. An alternative is the use of phosphine gas itself which requires dilution with either CO 2 or N 2 or even air to bring it below the flammability point. Use of the gas avoids the issues related with the solid residues left by metal phosphide and results in faster, more efficient control of the target pests. One problem with phosphine fumigants

840-491: The preponderance of P-P bonds in the starting material. The name "phosphine" was first used for organophosphorus compounds in 1857, being analogous to organic amines ( NR 3 ). The gas PH 3 was named "phosphine" by 1865 (or earlier). PH 3 is a trigonal pyramidal molecule with C 3 v molecular symmetry . The length of the P−H bond is 1.42  Å , the H−P−H bond angles are 93.5 ° . The dipole moment
