  1. Abstract Phosphane, PH3—a highly pyrophoric and toxic gas—is frequently contaminated with H2and P2H4, which makes its handling even more dangerous. The inexpensive metal–organic framework (MOF) magnesium formate, α‐[Mg(O2CH)2], can adsorb up to 10 wt % of PH3. The PH3‐loaded MOF, PH3@α‐[Mg(O2CH)2], is a non‐pyrophoric, recoverable material that even allows brief handling in air, thereby minimizing the hazards associated with the handling and transport of phosphane. α‐[Mg(O2CH)2] further plays a critical role in purifying PH3from H2and P2H4: at 25 °C, H2passes through the MOF channels without adsorption, whereas PH3adsorbs readily and only slowly desorbs under a flow of inert gas (complete desorption time≈6 h). Diphosphane, P2H4, is strongly adsorbed and trapped within the MOF for at least 4 months. P2H4@α‐[Mg(O2CH)2] itself is not pyrophoric and is air‐ and light‐stable at room temperature.
