Phosphorus pentaiodide

Phosphorus pentaiodide is an inorganic compound with formula PI5. The existence of this compound has been claimed intermittently since the early 1900s.[1] The claim is disputed: "The pentaiodide does not exist (except perhaps as PI3·I2, but certainly not as PI+
4I−
...)".[2]
