WHAT DOES PHOSPHONIUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Phosphonium

The phosphonium cation describes polyatomic cations with the chemical formula PR+ 4. Salts of the parent PH4+ are rarely encountered, but this ion is an intermediate in the preparation of the industrially useful tetrakisphosphonium chloride: PH3 + HCl + 4 CH2O → P4+Cl- Organic phosphonium salts are common reagents in the laboratory. Those with a P-H bond are produced through protonation of phosphines: PR3 + H+ → HPR3+ Many organic quaternary phosphonium cations are produced by alkylation of organophosphines. For example the reaction of triphenylphosphine with methyl iodide gives methyltriphenylphosphonium iodide, the precursor to a Wittig reagent: PPh3 + CH3I → CH3PPh3+I- The cation tetraphenylphosphonium is a useful precipitating agent, analogous to quaternary ammonium salts used in phase transfer catalysis.

Definition of phosphonium in the English dictionary

The definition of phosphonium in the dictionary is a derivative of phosphine, with the chemical formula PH4+.
