Neptunium(IV) phosphide is a binary inorganic compound of neptunium metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula Np3P4. [1]

Contents

Preparation

Neptunium(IV) phosphide can be formed from the fusion of stoichiometric amounts of neptunium and red phosphorus in an evacuated and sealed quartz tube at 750 °C: [2] [3]

3Np + 4P → Np3P4

Physical properties

Neptunium(IV) phosphide forms black crystals of cubic crystal system, spatial group I 43d. Isostructural with Th3P4. [4]

It does not dissolve in water.

Chemical properties

The compound reacts with concentrated HCl to give a green solution: [5]

Np3P4 + 12HCl → 3NpCl4 + 4PH3

Curium(III) fluoride or curium trifluoride is the chemical compound composed of curium and fluorine with the formula CmF3. It is a white, nearly insoluble salt that has the same crystal structure as LaF3. It precipitates as a hydrate when fluoride ions are added to a weakly acidic Cm(III) solution; alternatively it can be synthesized by reacting hydrofluoric acid with Cm(OH)3. The anhydrous form is then obtained by desiccation or by treatment with hydrogen fluoride gas.
