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]
