Organophosphine

Organophosphines are organophosphorus compounds with the formula PR_nH_3−n, where R is an organic substituent. These compounds can be classified according to the value of n: primary phosphines (n = 1), secondary phosphines (n = 2), tertiary phosphines (n = 3). All adopt pyramidal structures.^[1] Organophosphines are generally colorless, lipophilic liquids or solids.^[2] The parent of the organophosphines is phosphine (PH₃). ^[3]
