Preparation
editTrimolybdenum phosphide can be obtained via electrolysis of a melt mixture of molybdenum hexametaphosphate with molybdenum(VI) oxide and sodium chloride.
Properties
editTrimolybdenum phosphide forms grey crystals of tetragonal crystal system with space group I4.[3] It is insoluble in water. Trimolybdenum phosphide becomes superconducting at 7 K.[4]
Uses
editTrimolybdenum phosphide can be used as a catalyst for electrocatalytic processes.[5][6] It can also be used in accumulators.[7][8]
