Hey beez and gurlz, I was wondering, I want to an experiment for my project on phosphorus, apparently, there is a green allotrope of P, formed by quenching P vapor from 1200 C down to -200, I was thinking of using liquid nitrogen for this, but what is the likelyhood of forming one of the nitrides instead by that procedure?
If it seems likely that nitrides would bee formed, I intend to use helium instead as is of course, inert, its just that liquid nitrogen is a lot more accessible than liquid helium, and safer too IMO as it doesn't do the bose-einstein thing and crawl up the sides of the container
Any other info on this green polymorph/allotrope would be appreciated too, as there is none whatsoever on google
Thanks.
