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

Preparation

[edit | edit source]

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

[edit | edit source]

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

[edit | edit source]

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

Np3P4 + 12HCl → 3NpCl4 + 4PH3
