Phosphorus tricyanide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula P(CN)3. It can be produced by the reaction of phosphorus trichloride and trimethyl(iso)cyanosilane. [2] The reaction of phosphorus tribromide and silver cyanide in diethyl ether produce phosphorus tricyanide too. [1] Its thermal decomposition can produce graphite phase C3N3P. [3] Phosphorus tricyanide reacts with [Re(CO)5]+[BF4]− to form {P[CN-Re(CO)5]3}(BF4)3. [4]
