Chemical compound

Gold phosphide is a hypothetical binary inorganic compound of gold metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula AuP. No compound of composition AuP has been probed by X-ray crystallography. The only known gold phosphide is the metastable Au₂P₃.

Preparation

Gold phosphide was claimed to be prepared by the direct reaction of spongy gold and phosphorus or by passing phosphine into a solution of auric chloride in ether or alcohol:

AuCl₃ + PH₃ → AuP + 3HCl

Properties

AuP is claimed to decompose in air or with H₂O.

A mixed anion phosphide iodide is known: Au₇P₁₀I with a trigonal structure.
