High pressure synthesis of phosphine from the elements and the discovery of the missing (PH3)2H2 tile
Chemical elements at high pressure may behave more consistently with their periodic properties than they do at ambient conditions. The authors report the synthesis of PH3 from black phosphorous and hydrogen, and the crystallization of the van der Waals compound (PH3)2H2 which fills a gap in the chem...
