Solid phosphorus carbide?

Frederik Claeyssens, Neil L. Allan, Paul W. May, Pablo Ordejón and Josep M. Oliva


The electronic structure of different phosphorus carbide solid phases with stoichiometry P4C3 is studied using first-principles density-functional calculations; the lowest energy phase is cubic defect zinc-blende with graphitic phases much higher in energy.
