Europium phosphide is an inorganic compoundofeuropium and phosphorus with the chemical formula EuP.^[2]^[3]^[4] Other phosphides are also known.^[5]

Preparation

[edit]

Heating powdered europium and red phosphorus in an inert atmosphere or vacuum:^{[citation needed]}

4 Eu + P₄ → 4 EuP

Passing phosphine through a solution of europium in liquid ammonia:^[6]

Eu + 2PH₃ → Eu(PH₂)₂ + H₂

Eu(PH₂)₂ is formed, which then decomposes to europium(III) phosphide and phosphine:^[6]^[7]

2Eu(PH₂)₂ → 2EuP + 2PH₃ + H₂

Properties

[edit]

Europium(III) phosphide forms dark crystals which are stable in air and do not dissolve in water. Like sodium chloride, it crystallizes cubically in the space group Fm3m with cell parameter a = 575.5 nm with four formula units per unit cell.^[8] Europium(III) phosphide tends to form europium(II) oxide (EuO) in air,^[9] and pure EuP shows Van Vleck paramagnetism. The vapor pressure of EuP is 133-266.6 Pa at 1273 K.^[10]

Europium(III) phosphide actively reacts with nitric acid.^{[citation needed]}

Uses

[edit]

The compound is a semiconductor used in high power, high frequency applications and in laser diodes.^[2]
