Beryllium Phosphide (Be3P2) is identified here as CAS 58127-61-0 and EC 261-137-1 . Its formula is Be3P2 and molecular weight is 88.98 g/mol. The previously displayed CAS 12232-25-6 identifies beryllium selenide, not this phosphide, and has therefore been removed. Beryllium compounds present serious chronic health hazards, while phosphide chemistry also requires strict moisture and gas-evolution controls. This material is considered only for qualified research with a documented technical need, legal review, exposure-control plan and current SDS.

Product Description
Identity and physicochemical profile
| Item | Technical guidance |
|---|---|
| Correct identity | Beryllium phosphide; triberyllium diphosphide; Be₃P₂ |
| CAS / EC | 58127-61-0 / 261-137-1 |
| Formula / molecular weight | Be₃P₂ / 88.98 g/mol |
| Corrected conflict | CAS 12232-25-6 belongs to beryllium selenide, BeSe, and must not be used for Be₃P₂ |
| Key purchase controls | Phase and identity data, elemental composition, purity basis, trace metals, particle form, moisture exposure and package integrity |
| Supply boundary | Controlled research material requiring prior safety, legal, facility and end-use review |
Applications and grade selection
Beryllium Phosphide may be considered only for specialized solid-state, inorganic or materials research where its exact phase and composition are technically justified. Generic semiconductor, industrial-volume or open-handling claims are inappropriate without project data. Buyers must qualify the actual material by phase, elemental composition, impurity profile and performance.
- Define the required Be₃P₂ phase, purity calculation, particle form, trace-metal limits and characterization methods.
- Confirm that the receiving facility can control beryllium exposure, moisture contact, contaminated waste and emergency response.
- Review legal status, end use, package, transport feasibility and documentation before requesting a sample.
Storage and handling
Maintain the sealed moisture-protective package under the conditions specified in the current SDS and supplier instructions. Segregate it from water, acids and incompatible materials, and use a controlled procedure for opening, sampling, resealing and contaminated-container management.
Safety, documentation and procurement
Beryllium compounds are highly hazardous and require stringent inhalation and contamination controls. Contact with moisture or acids may create additional phosphide-related gas hazards. Procurement is conditional on qualified personnel, suitable engineering controls, end-use disclosure and destination compliance.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Which Beryllium Phosphide characterization should be specified?
A: Request phase or X-ray diffraction data, elemental beryllium-to-phosphorus composition, purity basis, oxygen and trace metals, particle form, moisture history and package integrity for the offered Be3P2 lot. -
Q:
Which hazards require special controls for Beryllium Phosphide?
A: The receiving facility must control beryllium inhalation and contamination and assess phosphide reactivity with moisture or acids. Current SDS, engineering controls, waste handling and emergency procedures are required. -
Q:
Can Beryllium Phosphide be ordered as a routine bulk chemical?
A: No routine bulk availability should be assumed. Technical need, end user, facility capability, legal status, quantity, packaging, transport feasibility and waste plan must be reviewed before commercial confirmation. -
Q:
What must the receiving facility approve before a Beryllium Phosphide shipment?
A: The site must approve beryllium exposure controls, moisture- and acid-exclusion procedures, closed sampling, contaminated-waste handling, emergency response and the proposed package. Shipment cannot be treated as routine laboratory-chemical receipt.
