A high‐pressure job : Under high‐pressure conditions, within a diamond anvil cell, irradiation of red phosphorus (see scheme, orange) and water was found to lead to a reaction that gives H 2 , PH 3 , H 3 PO 2 , H 3 PO 4 , and H 3 PO 4 (H gray, O red, P orange). This reaction can be easily monitored using Raman spectroscopy and presents an interesting method for H 2 generation.
