Ammonium phosphinate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula NH4PH2O2.[3][4] This is a salt of ammonium and phosphoric acid.

Synthesis

[edit]

The effect of ammonia solution on phosphoric acid solution:

HPH2O2 + NH3 → NH4PH2O2

Physical properties

[edit]

Ammonium phosphonate forms colorless crystals of rhombic system, spatial group C mma, cell parameters a = 0.757 nm, b = 1.147 nm, c = 0.398 nm, Z = 4.[5]

The compound is soluble in water and ethanol, but insoluble in acetone.[6]

Uses

[edit]

The compound is usually used as a catalyst for the production of polyamide.[2]
