We investigate a previously unknown phase of phosphorus that shares itslayered structure and high stability with the black phosphorus allotrope. Wefind the in-plane hexagonal structure and bulk layer stacking of thisstructure, which we call `blue phosphorus', to be related to graphite. Unlikegraphite and black phosphorus, blue phosphorus displays a wide fundamental bandgap and should exfoliate easily to form quasi-2D structures suitable forelectronic applications. We study a likely transformation pathway from black toblue phosphorus and discuss possible ways to synthesize the new structure.
