  2. Phosphide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphide

    In chemistry, a phosphide is a compound containing the P 3− ion or its equivalent. Many different phosphides are known, with widely differing structures. [ 1 ] Most commonly encountered on the binary phosphides, i.e. those materials consisting only of phosphorus and a less electronegative element.

  3. Phosphate phosphite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate_phosphite

    A phosphate phosphite is a chemical compound or salt that contains phosphate and phosphite anions (PO 3 3-and PO 4 3-). These are mixed anion compounds or mixed valence compounds. Some have third anions. Phosphate phosphites frequently occur as metal organic framework (MOF) compounds which are of research interest for gas storage, detection or ...

  4. Phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate

    In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid. It most commonly means orthophosphate, a derivative of orthophosphoric acid, a.k.a. phosphoric acid H 3 PO 4. The phosphate or orthophosphate ion [PO 4] 3− is derived from phosphoric acid by the removal of three protons H +.

  5. Phosphoric acids and phosphates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Phosphoric_acids_and_phosphates

    The term phosphate is also used in organic chemistry for the functional groups that result when one or more of the hydrogens are replaced by bonds to other groups. These acids, together with their salts and esters , include some of the best-known compounds of phosphorus, of high importance in biochemistry , mineralogy , agriculture , pharmacy ...

  6. Phosphite anion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphite_anion

    The situation is confusing because of the similarity in name between phosphite and phosphate (a major plant nutrient and fertilizer ingredient), and controversial because phosphites have sometimes been advertised as fertilizers, even though they are converted to phosphate too slowly to serve as a plant's main phosphorus source.

  7. Phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

    Low phosphate levels are an important limit to growth in a number of plant ecosystems. The vast majority of phosphorus compounds mined are consumed as fertilisers. Phosphate is needed to replace the phosphorus that plants remove from the soil, and its annual demand is rising nearly twice as fast as the growth of the human population.

  8. Phosphate mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate_mineral

    Phosphate is also used in animal feed supplements, food preservatives, anti-corrosion agents, cosmetics, fungicides, ceramics, water treatment and metallurgy. The production of fertilizer is the largest source responsible for minerals mined for their phosphate content.

  9. Phosphite ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphite_ester

    Phosphites are oxidized to phosphate esters: P(OR) 3 + [O] → OP(OR) 3. This reaction underpins the commercial use of some phosphite esters as stabilizers in polymers. [6] Alkyl phosphite esters are used in the Perkow reaction for the formation of vinyl phosphonates, and in the Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction to form phosphonates.
