Molybdenum monophosphide is a binary inorganic compound of molybdenum metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula MoP.[1][2][3]
Molybdenum monophosphide can be obtained from electrolysis of molten molybdenum hexametaphosphate:[4]
- 4 Mo(PO3)6 → 4 MoP + 10 P2O5 + 9 O2
It can also be prepared from heating of a mixture of molybdenum and metaphosphoric acid in a carbon crucible:
- 2 Mo + 2 HPO3 + 5 C → 2 MoP + 5 CO + H2O
