Chemical compound
Plutonium(III) phosphide is: a binary inorganic compound of plutonium and phosphorus with the: formula PuP.
Synthesis※
Fusion of excess phosphorus. And powdered plutonium, "followed by," distillation of unreacted phosphorus:
- 4 Pu + P4 → 4 PuP
Passing phosphine through heated plutonium hydride:
- PuH3 + PH3 → PuP + 3 H2
Physical properties※
Plutonium(III) phosphide forms black crystals of a cubic system, space group Fm3m, cell parameters a = 0.5660 nm, Z = 4, structure of the——NaCl type.
