It has been realized that the stoichiometry of hydrides might change under high pressure, which is crucial in understanding the superconducting mechanism. In this study, PH3 was studied to understand its superconducting transition and stoichiometry under high pressure using Raman, IR and X-ray diffraction measurements, as well as theoretical calculations. PH3 is stable below 11.7\u00a0GPa and then it starts to dehydrogenate through two dimerization processes at room temperature and pressures up to 25\u00a0GPa. Two resulting phosphorus hydrides, P2H4 and P4H6, were verified experimentally and can be recovered to ambient pressure. Under further compression above 35\u00a0GPa, the P4H6 directly decomposed into elemental phosphorus. Low temperature can greatly hinder polymerization\/decomposition under high pressure and retains P4H6 up to at least 205\u00a0GPa. The superconductivity transition temperature of P4H6 is predicted to be 67\u00a0K at 200\u00a0GPa, which agrees with the reported result, suggesting that it might be responsible for superconductivity at higher pressures. Our results clearly show that P2H4 and P4H6 are the only stable P\u2013H compounds between PH3 and elemental phosphorus, which is helpful for shedding light on the superconducting mechanism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/nsr\/nwz010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,21]],"date-time":"2019-01-21T12:09:32Z","timestamp":1548072572000},"page":"524-531","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Stoichiometric
