A flux is essential for the synthesis of Hf 7 P 4 , which has been obtained by the reaction of Hf with Fe and HfP. The compound proved to be thermodynamically stable and iron‐free, but could not be synthesized without the addition of iron as a flux material. Hf 7 P 4 is surprisingly isostructural with Zr 7 P 4 , and a possible explanation for this is given based on COOP calculations.
