  2. Red phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_phosphorus

    Fibrous red phosphorus is another crystalline form of red phosphorus. [7] It is obtained along with violet phosphorus when red phosphorus is sublimed in vacuum in the presence of iodine. [21] It is structurally similar to violet phosphorus. However, in fibrous red phosphorus, phosphorus chains lie parallel instead of orthogonal, unlike violet ...

    Violet phosphorus (right) by a sample of red phosphorus (left) Hitorff's phosphorus structure. Monoclinic phosphorus, violet phosphorus, or Hittorf's metallic phosphorus is a crystalline form of the amorphous red phosphorus. [15] [16] In 1865, Johann Wilhelm Hittorf heated red phosphorus in a sealed tube at 530 °C. The upper part of the tube ...

  4. Phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

    Red phosphorus may be formed by heating white phosphorus to 250 °C (523 K) in the absence of air or by exposing it to sunlight. [13] In this form phosphorus is amorphous, but can be crystallised upon further heating into violet phosphorus or fibrous red phosphorus depending on the reaction conditions. Red phosphorus is therefore not an ...

  5. Desomorphine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desomorphine

    The drug can be made from codeine and iodine derived from over-the-counter medications and red phosphorus from match strikers, [17] in a process similar to the manufacturing of methamphetamine from pseudoephedrine. Like methamphetamine, desomorphine made this way is often contaminated with various agents.

  6. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    The red phosphor has always been a problem, being the dimmest of the three necessitating the brighter green and blue electron beam currents be adjusted down to make them equal the red phosphor's lower brightness. This made early color TVs only usable indoors as bright light made it impossible to see the dim picture, while portable black-and ...

  8. Match - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match

    The major innovation in its development was the use of red phosphorus, not on the head of the match but instead on a specially designed striking surface. Arthur Albright developed the industrial process for large-scale manufacture of red phosphorus after Schrötter's discoveries became known. By 1851, his company was producing the substance by ...
