Zirconium monophosphide is a binary inorganic compound of zirconium metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula ZrP. [1] [2] [3]
Zirconium monophosphide can be prepared from direct reaction of zirconium powders with red phosphorus: [4]
The α-form of zirconium monophosphide has a NaCl crystal structure. [5] The β-form structure is hexagonal. The α-form is a superconductor if cooled below 5K. [6]
Zirconium is a chemical element; it has symbol Zr and atomic number 40. First isolated in pure form in 1824, the name zirconium is derived from the name of the mineral zircon, the most important source of zirconium. The word is related to Persian zargun. It is a lustrous, grey-white, strong transition metal that closely resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium.
In chemistry, a phosphide is a compound containing the P3− ion or its equivalent. Many different phosphides are known, with widely differing structures. Most commonly encountered on the binary phosphides, i.e. those materials consisting only of phosphorus and a less electronegative element. Numerous are polyphosphides, which are solids consisting of anionic chains or clusters of phosphorus. Phosphides are known with the majority of less electronegative elements with the exception of Hg, Pb, Sb, Bi, Te, and Po. Finally, some phosphides are molecular.
Zirconium hydride describes an alloy made by combining zirconium and hydrogen. Hydrogen acts as a hardening agent, preventing dislocations in the zirconium atom crystal lattice from sliding past one another. Varying the amount of hydrogen and the form of its presence in the zirconium hydride controls qualities such as the hardness, ductility, and tensile strength of the resulting zirconium hydride. Zirconium hydride with increased hydrogen content can be made harder and stronger than zirconium, but such zirconium hydride is also less ductile than zirconium.
Titanium(III) phosphide (TiP) is an inorganic chemical compound of titanium and phosphorus. Normally encountered as a grey powder, it is a metallic conductor with a high melting point. It is not attacked by common acids or water. 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. Titanium phosphide is classified as a "metal-rich phosphide", where extra valence electrons from the metal are delocalised.
Zirconium phosphates (zirconium hydrogen phosphate) are acidic, inorganic cation exchange materials that have a layered structure with formula Zr(HPO4)2∙nH2O. These salts have high thermal and chemical stability, solid state ion conductivity, resistance to ionizing radiation, and the capacity to incorporate different types of molecules with different sizes between their layers. There are various phases of zirconium phosphate which vary in their interlaminar spaces and their crystalline structure. Among all the Zirconium phosphate phases the most widely used are the alpha (Zr(HPO4)2∙H2O) and the gamma (Zr(PO4)(H2PO4)∙2H2O) phase. The salts have been widely used in several applications such as: drug delivery, catalysis, nanocomposite, nuclear waste management, clinical dialyzer, among others.
Uranium monophosphide is a compound of uranium and phosphorus, synthesized from heating metal uranium and white phosphorus: It is a potential nuclear fuel.
Zinc diphosphide (ZnP2) is an inorganic chemical compound. It is a red semiconductor solid with a band gap of 2.1 eV. It is one of the two compounds in the zinc-phosphorus system, the other being zinc phosphide (Zn3P2).
A Phosphide chloride is a mixed anion compound containing both phosphide (P3−) and chloride (Cl−) ions.
Phosphide carbides or carbide phosphides are compounds containing anions composed of carbide (C4−) and phosphide (P3−). They can be considered as mixed anion compounds. Related compounds include phosphide silicides, germanide phosphides, arsenide carbides, nitride carbides and silicide carbides.

Arsenic monophosphide, also called arsenic phosphide, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AsP. Containing only arsenic and phosphorus, this material is classified as a binary phosphide as well as an interpnictogen. Ratios of arsenic to phosphorus are not fixed and can vary. Depending on the ratio, the band gap changes.
Phosphidogermanates are chemical compounds that have phosphorus bound to germanium to yield anions. They are in the category of phosphidotetrelates and also pnictides. They are analogous to nitridogermanates, phosphidoaluminates, phosphidogallates, phosphidoindates, phosphidosilicates or phosphidostannates.
