Iron phosphide is a chemical compound of iron and phosphorus, with a formula of FeP.<[1] Its physical appearance is grey needles.

Manufacturing of iron phosphide takes place at elevated temperatures, where the elements combine directly.[1] Iron phosphide reacts with moisture and acids producing phosphine (PH3), a toxic and pyrophoric gas.

Iron phosphide is a good electric and heat conductor.[2]

Below a Néel temperature of about 119 K, FeP takes on an helimagnetic structure.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
