White Phosphorus

Synthesis of organophosphorus (III) compounds from white phosphorus via an adduct-catalyzed tandem electro-thermal approach

Scientists have developed a novel synthesis method for trivalent phosphorus compounds, leveraging an adduct-catalyzed tandem electro-thermal approach to produce high-yielding organophosphorus compounds with improved efficiency and selectivity. The approach also enables the in-situ consumption of renewable energy sources.

Alternative process for converting white phosphorus promises more sustainability in the chemical industry

Researchers at TU Dresden have developed an alternative process for converting white phosphorus, reducing the need for toxic and corrosive chemicals. The new method, which omits chlorine gas, is a significant step towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly processes.

Hydrogenation of white phosphorus leads way to safer chemical technology

Researchers at Kazan University have developed a new method to synthesize organophosphorous compounds directly from white phosphorus, reducing the need for toxic chlorine oxygenation technology. The innovative process utilizes electrolysis and acid on a lead cathode, resulting in high-speed, selective, and easy-to-control synthesis.
