It is actually called HYPOPHOSPHOROUS acid (H3PO2). Its official name (by IUPAC) is phosphinic acid. It is a weak, monoprototic acid, chemically also be 'written' as HOP(O)H2 , so not triprotic like its big brother phosphorous acid H3PO3 .

We can prepare it by oxidizing Phosphine (PH3), in Iodine (I2) with water according to the following equation:

PH3 + 2 I2 + 2 H2O ----> H3PO2 + 4 HI
