Phosphide Chemical

CAS No   20859-73-8

Application / Uses Preparation
Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is an inorganic compound used as a wide band gap semiconductor and a fumigant. This colourless solid is generally sold as a grey-green-yellow powder due to the presence of impurities arising from hydrolysis and oxidation.

CAS No   12058-85-4

Application / Uses Preparation
Sodium phosphide, Na3P, is a black, ionic salt containing the alkali metal sodium and the phosphide anion.[2] Na3P is a source of the highly reactive phosphide anion. It should not be confused with sodium phosphate, Na3PO4.

CAS No   1314-84-7

Application / Uses Preparation
Metal phosphides have been used as rodenticides. A mixture of food and zinc phosphide is left where the rodents can eat it. The acid in the digestive system of the rodent reacts with the phosphide to generate the toxic phosphine gas.
