Single crystal and polycrystalline samples of MoP$_4$ with ablack-phosphorus-derived structure have been successfully synthesized by ahigh-pressure technique. The polycrystalline samples show a large positivemagnetoresistance and a small negative Seebeck coefficient at low temperatures,reflecting a semi-metallic nature with high-mobility electrons. Consistent withthe transport properties, the band structure calculation reveals asemi-metallic state with the presence of two types of Dirac nodes slightlybelow the Fermi level. The Dirac node along the $\Gamma$-X direction normal tothe phosphorus layers is gapped out in the presence of spin-orbit coupling(SOC), whereas the band crossing at the Z-point is immune to SOC because of thenon-symmorphic symmetry. This work demonstrates a great potential ofphosphorus-based layered Zintl compounds for topological semimetal candidatesallowing chemical band engineering.
