Chemical compound

Lutetium phosphide is an inorganic compound of lutetium and phosphorus with the chemical formula LuP.[3][4] The compound forms dark crystals, does not dissolve in water.

## Synthesis

[edit]

Heating powdered lutetium and red phosphorus in an inert atmosphere or vacuum:

4 Lu + P 4 ⟶ 4 LuP {\displaystyle {\ce {4Lu + P4 -> 4LuP}}}

It can also be formed in the reaction of lutetium and phosphine.

## Physical properties

[edit]

Lutetium phosphide forms dark cubic crystals, space group Fm3m, cell parameters a = 0.5533 nm, Z = 4.[5]

Stable in air, does not dissolve in water and reacts actively with nitric acid.

## Uses

[edit]

The compound is a semiconductor used in high power, high-frequency applications, and in laser diodes.[6]

Also used in gamma radiation detectors due to its ability to absorb radiation.
