Phosphonium iodide reducing agent

As might be expected, phosphonium iodide acts as a reducing agent in most cases, although it is not oxidised by oxygen or air at ordinary temperatures. Chlorine water gives phosphorus and P 2H,10 and chlorine... 

POTASSIUM lODATE (7758-05-6) KIO, Noncombustible solid but many chemical reactions can cause fire and explosions. A strong oxidizer. Reacts violently with many materials, including reducing agents, hydrides, nitrides, and sulfides combustible materials, organic substances, manganese dioxide, arsenic, finely divided metals or carbon materials, hydrides of alkali or alkaline earth metalss, metal cyanides, metal thiocyanates, phosphonium iodide, red phosphorus, sulfides, sulfur, xenon tetrafluoride. Forms explosive compounds with solid organic matter. Mixture of powdered aluminum forms heat-, friction-, and shock-sensitive explosive. Attacks chemically active metals (e.g, aluminum, copper, zinc, etc.). Thermal deconposition, at temperatures above 1040°F/560°C, releases toxic iodine fumes.
