P4O6 is a white crystalline with garlic odor. Its melting point is 23.8 ̊C (74.84 ̊F), boiling point 173.1 ̊C (343.58 ̊F), density 2.135 g/cm3. P4O6 reacts with water, the product is H3PO4. P4O6 is usually used as a desiccant and dehydrating agent.
Example Reactions:
• P4 + 3O2 = P4O6
• 4P + 3O2 = P4O6
• P4O6 + 6H2O = 4H3PO3
• P4O6 + 2O2 = P4O10
• 4PH3 + 6O2 = 6H2O + P4O6
• P4S3 + 6O2 = P4O6 + 3SO2
