Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) coupled with density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to predict the most stable hydrides of phosphorus (PHn, n = 1-6) at 100, 150, and 200 GPa. At these pressures phosphine is unstable with respect to decomposition into the elemental phases, as well as PH2 and H-2. Three metallic PH2 phases were found to be dynamically stable and superconducting between 100 and 200 GPa. One of these contains five formula units in the primitive cell and has C2/m symmetry (5FU-C2/m). It comprises 1D periodic PE3-PH-PH2-PH-PH3 oligomers. Two structurally related phases consisting of phosphorus atoms that are octahedrally coordinated by four phosphorus atoms in the equatorial positions and two hydrogen atoms in the axial positions (I4/mmm and 2FU-C2/m) were the most stable phases between similar to 160-200 GPa. Their superconducting critical temperatures (T-c) were computed as 70 and 76 K, respectively, via the Allen-Dynes modified McMillan formula and using a value of 0.1 for the Coulomb pseudopotential, mu*. Our results suggest that the superconductivity recently observed by Drozdov, Eremets, and Troyan when phosphine was subject to pressures of 207 GPa in a diamond anvil cell may result from these, and other, decomposition products of phosphine.
