Abstract
Macroscale synthesis of phosphorous (III) nitride is a process still in development. There is little known about bulk phosphorous (III) nitride, but it is expected to be applicable for use in electronic materials. Synthesis of this product was attempted using lithium nitride and several electrophilic phosphorous sources with formula PX3. Reactions using PCl3 have resulted in the formation of an insoluble orange solid. Reactions using (CH3O)3P and [(CH3)2N]3P have produced insoluble off-white solids. Several reactions using akyl and aryl phosphorous dichlorides have also been performed and produce slightly soluble polymeric compounds. These results have been characterized using infrared and NMR spectroscopy.
