Trimolybdenum phosphide is a binary inorganic compound of molybdenum metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula Mo3P.[1][2]

Preparation

Trimolybdenum phosphide can be obtained via electrolysis of a melt mixture of molybdenum hexametaphosphate with molybdenum(VI) oxide and sodium chloride.

Properties

Trimolybdenum phosphide forms grey crystals of tetragonal crystal system with space group I4.[3] It is insoluble in water. Trimolybdenum phosphide becomes superconducting at 7 K.[4]

Uses

Trimolybdenum phosphide can be used as a catalyst for electrocatalytic processes.[5][6] It can also be used in accumulators.[7][8]
