Abstract
The low-temperature form of white phosphorus (β-P, Ttrans= -76.4°C) is triclinic, P1. The asymmetric unit contains 3 independent tetrahedral P4 molecules. Intramolecular angles are 60 ± 0.5° and the P-P distances are d=220.9(5) pm. The structure of β-P is related to that of γ-Pu, the Pu atoms being substituted by P4.Keywords
