Hypophosphorous acid is a monoprotic phosphorus oxyacid and a powerful reducing agent with the molecular formula H3PO2. It is used industrially for electroless nickel plating and has a variety of organic chemistry applications.
Hypophosphorous acid is primarily used for electroless nickel plating. It is involved in the reduction of arenediazonium salts. It acts as an additive in Fischer esterification reactions. Also, it serves as a neutralizing agent, antioxidant, catalyst in polymerization and poly condensation, and...

Organophosphorus compounds are organic compounds that contain phosphorus. However, a compound need not have a direct phosphorus-carbon (P-C) bond for it to be considered an organophosphorus compound; it is sufficient that phosphorus contain only an organic substituent.
