Phosphorus tricyanide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula P(CN)₃. It can be produced by the reaction of phosphorus trichloride and trimethyl(iso)cyanosilane.^[2] The reaction of phosphorus tribromide and silver cyanide in diethyl ether produce phosphorus tricyanide too.^[1] Its thermal decomposition can produce graphite phase C₃N₃P.^[3] Phosphorus tricyanide reacts with Re(CO)₅FBF₃ to form {P[CN-Re(CO)₅]₃}(BF₄)₃.^[4]
