Platinum diphosphide is a binary inorganic compound of platinum metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula PtP2. [1] [2]

Contents

Synthesis

Platinum diphosphide can be prepared by passing phosphorus vapors over spongy platinum or prolonged heating of platinum and phosphorus in a vacuum ampoule at 570 °C: [3] [4]

2 Pt + P4 → 2 PtP2

Also, by reducing platinum(II) acetylacetonate to platinum nanoparticles and reacting with trioctylphosphine at 370 °C. [5]

Properties

Platinum diphosphide forms silvery-white crystals of cubic crystal system with the space group Pa3.

Uses

Platinum diphosphide can be used as a semiconductor [6] and catalyst. [7]
