Lithium phosphide is an
inorganic compound of
lithium and
phosphorus with the chemical formula Li
3P. This dark colored compound is formally the Li+ salt of P3-. It is a hazardous to handle because of its high reactivity toward air.

Heating red phosphorus and lithium in an argon atmosphere: [1]
Reaction of monolithium phosphide and lithium:
Lithium phosphide forms red-brown crystals of hexagonal systems, space group P63/mmc, [2] cell parameters a = 0.4264 nm, c = 0.7579 nm, Z = 2. [3] [4]
The compound react with water to release phosphine: [5]
The compound is proposed to be used as a potential electrolyte for solid-state devices. [6]
Reaction of lithium with red phosphorus at 870 °C gives Li3P7. [7]
Alkali metal phosphides are dangerous compounds when exposed to oxygen or moisture. [8]
