triphenyl
Triphenyl is a chemical descriptor used in organic chemistry to indicate a motif of three phenyl rings (C6H5) attached to a central atom or group. It is not a single compound, but rather a prefix that appears in many substances where three phenyl rings surround a core atom, such as carbon, phosphorus, or nitrogen, or where three phenyl groups are bound to a central carbon in structures like triphenylmethane.
Common examples include triphenylmethane, triphenylphosphine, and triphenylamine. Triphenylmethane is a hydrocarbon in which a central carbon
Triphenylphosphine (PPh3) is a widely used tertiary phosphine ligand in homogeneous catalysis and organometallic chemistry. It
Triaryl phosphates, including triphenyl phosphate, are used as flame retardants and plasticizers in polymers and coatings.
