Phosphorus trifluoride (Cat No.:M059642) is a colorless, highly toxic gas composed of one phosphorus atom bonded to three fluorine atoms. Structurally similar to carbon monoxide, it acts as a strong π-acceptor ligand in coordination chemistry, forming stable complexes with transition metals. PF₃ is widely used in organometallic and inorganic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of metal phosphine complexes. It also serves as a fluorinating agent in specialized reactions. Due to its high toxicity and ability to form corrosive acids upon contact with moisture, phosphorus trifluoride must be handled with extreme caution under controlled conditions.
