It is rather a wrong idea. Phosphate buffers can work effectively within pH 1.2-3.2 or 6.2-8.2

I've used Sodium Phosphate Buffers from 6 to 7.4.

If you go with Borek's suggestion:


0.1 M Citrate Buffer at pH 5.5
9.6 g of anhydrous citric acid & 4.4 g of NaOH.  Dilute to 500 ml.  Adjust pH with NaOH ( maybe a 10M ).

just a suggestion
