Abstract
A process for producing relatively pure metal phosphorus trisulfides of the formula MPS.sub.3 wherein M is a metal selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ca, Sr, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Zn, Cd, Hg, Sn, Pb, Sm, Eu, Yb and mixtures thereof, said process comprising contacting in a reaction zone, phosphides of said metals of the formula M.sub.x P.sub.y, wherein the ratio of y/x ranges between 1/8 to 5/1, with one or more compounds of the formula PS.sub.z wherein z ranges from 1-3 and is preferably 2, said PS.sub.z being present in the reaction zone in an amount sufficient to exceed the amount of P and S stoichiometrically required to form the desired MPS.sub.3, at a temperature ranging from about 300.degree.-600.degree. C. and confined so as to maintain the PS.sub.z present in the reaction zone as a gas in equilibrium with its liquid for a time sufficient to produce said relatively pure metal phosphorus trisulfide.
