Why isn't this compound called tetraphosphorus hexoxide?? Georgia guy 23:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
HAPPY
I've made an image (based on xray data from Acta Cryst. (1996). C52, 2650-2652) of a complex with P4O6 as a ligand. At the moment, the article seems a bit short to include the image and related discussion, since there are probably several other more significant aspects of phosphorus trioxide's chemistry that should be expanded upon first.
I'll leave the image here for now and I'll consider extending the article generally when I have time.

I'll read what Greenwood and Earnshaw have to say on the matter, plus my other undergraduate (and maybe school) textbooks, and add what I can from a student's perspective. Then you pros can correct what I've done and add any advanced bits you think would be beneficial.
Cheers

I've added more about phosphorus trioxide as a ligand. I haven't had a chance to write this bit yet, but the iron tetracarbonyl complex can be prepared by a photochemical reaction of P4O6 and Fe(CO)5: Inorg. Chem., 1975, 14 (10), pp 2438–2440.

The article lists a pKa of 9.2 without any reference -- presumably this is copied from arsenic trioxide. Maybe we should put a link to phosphorous acid there instead. Zhieaanm ( talk) 02:33, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
