Zirconium monophosphide is a binary inorganic compound of zirconium metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula ZrP.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Preparation

Zirconium monophosphide can be prepared from direct reaction of zirconium powders with red phosphorus:^[4]

4 Zr + P₄ → 4 ZrP

Physical properties

The α-form of zirconium monophosphide has a NaCl crystal structure.^[5] The β-form structure is hexagonal. The α-form is a superconductor if cooled below 5K.^[6]
