By allowing PCl3 to stand with an excess of iodine, crystals were obtained having the composition PCl3I.
Iodine monochloride or trichloride was found to react with PCl3 giving orange-red crystals of PCl6I, which, by their formation, are probably constituted as PCl3.ICl3. The compound sublimed with partial decomposition and deliquesced in moist air with hydrolysis of the PCl3. |
