Abstract: Ferric chloride reacts with triphenylphosphine in acetonitrile and some other solvents in the presence of air oxygen to give FeCl₃OPPh₃)₂. The air oxygen gradually oxidizes triphenylphosphine in the solid FeCI₃(PPh₃)₂, too, and FeCl₃(OPPh₃)₂ arises. A complete oxidation of triphenylphosphine in the solid FeCl3(PPh₃)₂ takes place at 80°C.
