Tetraphenyldiphosphine is the organophosphorus compound with the formula [PPh₂]₂, where Ph = phenyl (C₆H₅). It is a white, air-sensitive solid that dissolves in nonpolar solvents. It is a centrosymmetric molecule with a P-P bond of 2.2592 Å.[1]

Tetraphenyldiphosphine is produced by reductive coupling of chlorodiphenylphosphine:

2 Ph₂PCl + 2 Na → Ph₂P-PPh₂ + 2 NaCl

The compound is used as a source of the Ph₂P⁻ group.[2]

Ph₂P-PPh₂ + 2 Na → + 2 NaPPh₂
