A one‐dimensional, infinite phosphorus screw consisting of P 12 units is present in crystals of (CuI) 3 P 12 . Theoretical calculations had predicted that this previously unknown form of phosphorus would be thermodynamically stable. Flat shiny needles of (CuI) 3 P 12 have now been prepared from CuI and elemental phosphorus, and the new phosphorus allotrope has been characterized by X‐ray diffraction (picture on the right, P: black, Cu: shaded, and I: white circles).
