Phosphides, first-row transition metal

Among binary transition-metal pnictides, only the first-row transition-metal phosphides have been analysed by XPS extensively, whereas arsenides and antimonides have been barely studied [51-61]. Table 2 reveals some general trends in the P 2p3/2 BEs for various first-row transition-metal monophosphides, as well as some metaland phosphorus-rich members forming for a given transition metal. Deviations of as much as a few tenths of an electron volt are seen in the BEs for some compounds measured multiple times by different investigators (e.g., MnP), but these...
