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

Preparation[edit]

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

4 Zr + P4 → 4 ZrP

Physical properties[edit]

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]
