Phosphorus tricyanide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula P(CN)3. It can be produced by the reaction of
phosphorus trichloride and trimethyl(iso)cyanosilane.[2] The reaction of
phosphorus tribromide and
silver cyanide in
diethyl ether produce phosphorus tricyanide too.[1] Its thermal decomposition can produce graphite phase C3N3P.[3] Phosphorus tricyanide reacts with
Re(CO)5FBF3 to form {P[CN-Re(CO)53}(BF4)3.[4]
