The hindered phenol phosphonate compounds of the : present invention are useful as phenolic antioxidants. Thus they can be used to stabilize organic materials normally subject to oxidative deterioration.
The phenolic phosphonate antioxidant is used in an amount of 0.005 to 10 parts per 100 parts of the polymer or other material to be stabilized, preferably 0.1 to 5 parts per 100 parts of polymer. Thus they are useful with many different kinds of solid polymers. For example, they can be used with resins made from vinylidene compounds such as vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, vinyl chloroacetate, chlorostyrenes, vinyl bromide and chlorobutadienes.
Such vinylidene compounds may be polymerized alone or in admixture with each other or with vinylidene compounds free ., , ~ .

vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate and vinyl benzoate, es~ers of unsaturated acids, e.g. alkyl and alkenyl acrylates such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate and allyl acrylate as well as the corresponding methacrylates, e.g. methyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate, vinyl aromatic compounds, e.g. styrene p-ethyl styrene, divinyl benzene, vinyl naphthalene, ~-methyl styrene, p-methyl styrene, dienes such as butadiene and isoprene, unsaturated amides such as acrylamide, methacrylamide and acrylanilide and the esters of ~ unsaturated carboxylic acids, e.g., the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, allyl, methallyl and phenyl esters of maleic, crotonic, itaconic and fumaric acids and the like. Specific examples of such esters are diethyl maleate, dibutyl maleate and dibutyl fumarate.
The copolymers in which at least 50% of the copolymer is made from a halogen containing vinylidene compound such as vinyl chloride, are among the preferred materials treated according to the invention.
The antioxidants or stabilizers of the present invention are also effective when intimately mixed with halogen containing resins in which part or all of the halogen is intro-duced into a preformed resin, e.g. chlorinated polyvinyl acetate, chlorinated polystyrene, chlorinated polyethylene, 11~t4~ZlZ

There can also be incorporated 0.1 to 10 parts per 100 parts of the halogen containing resin of a metal salt stabi-lizer. Thus, there can be used barium, strontium, calcium,cadmium, zinc, lead, tin, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, titanium and aluminium salts of phenols, aromatic carboxylic acids, fatty acids and epoxy fatty acids.
Examples of suitable salts include barium di(nonyl-phenolate), strontium di(nonylphenolate), strontium di(amyl-phenolate), barium di(octylphenolate), strontium di(octylpheno-late), barium di(nonyl-o-cresolate), lead di(octylphenolate), .
