Photolysis of methylphosphine in an argon matrix: spectral characterization of methylphosphinidene (CH 3 P) and phosphaethene (CH 2 PH)

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Photodegradation of methylphosphine generates small reactive phosphorus-containing species of potential astrochemical interest, including CH 3 P, CH 2 PH, HCP, CP, and PH. Matrix-isolation spectroscopy enables their IR and UV characterization.
