Sodium trimetaphosphate (also STMP), with formula Na3P3O9, is a metaphosphate of sodium. It has the empirical formula NaPO3. It is the sodium salt of trimetaphosphoric acid. It is a colourless solid that finds specialised applications in food and construction industries. STMP is prepared by heating samples sodium polyphosphate.[2]
Although drawn with a particular resonance structure, the trianion has D3d symmetry.[3] Hydrolysis of the ring leads to the acyclic sodium triphosphate:
- Na3P3O9 + H2O → H2Na3P3O10
The main reactions of the triphosphate anion is ring-opening by nucleophiles, including amines.[4]
