Titanium(III) phosphide (TiP) is an inorganic chemical compound of titanium and phosphorus. Normally encountered as a grey powder, [1] it is a metallic conductor with a high melting point. [2] It is not attacked by common acids or water. [1] Its physical properties stand in contrast to the group 1 and group 2 phosphides that contain the P3− anion (such as Na3P), which are not metallic and are readily hydrolysed. [2] Titanium phosphide is classified as a "metal-rich phosphide", where extra valence electrons from the metal are delocalised. [2]
Titanium phosphide can be prepared by the reaction of TiCl4 and PH3. [1]
There are other titanium phosphide phases, including Ti3P, [3] Ti2P, [4] Ti7P4, [5] Ti5P3, [6] and Ti4P3. [7]
Titanium phosphide should not be confused with titanium phosphate or titanium isopropoxide, both of which are sometimes known by the acronym TIP.
