Molybdenum diphosphide is a binary inorganic compound of molybdenum metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula MoP
2.[1][2]
Synthesis
Molybdenum diphosphide can be obtained by heating molybdenum with red phosphorus in a closed tube at 550 °C:
- Mo + 2P → MoP
2
Properties
Molybdenum diphosphide forms black crystals of orthorhombic crystal system with space group A21am.[3][4] It is insoluble in water. It decomposes when heated, releasing molybdenum monophosphide and white phosphorus:
- 4MoP
2 → 4MoP + P
4
Uses
Molybdenum diphosphide can be used as a catalyst.[5]
