Triphenylphosphine oxide (often abbreviated TPPO) is the organophosphorus compound with the formula OP(C₆H₅)₃, also written as Ph₃PO or PPh₃O (Ph = C₆H₅). It is one of the more common phosphine oxides. This colourless crystalline compound is a common but potentially useful waste product in reactions involving triphenylphosphine. It is a popular reagent to induce the crystallizing of chemical compounds.
