Abstract Nanoparticulate transition‐metal phosphides remain an unexplored, though emerging area of interest on the materials landscape, due principally to their promising magnetic and catalytic properties. This review describes synthetic strategies for the formation of both supported and unsupported transition‐metal phosphide nanoparticles, provides a summary of their relevant magnetic and catalytic properties, and indicates new directions for exploration.
