Carbon monophosphide (CP) is a chemical with a molecular weight of 42.984. CP is the pnictogenic cousins of the chalcogenic species CS. Aside from differences in the masses of the heavy atoms in each diatomic, CP and CN are both open-shell species with doublet Π ground electronic states while the ground states of CS and CO are closed-shell. The simple diatomic radical carbon monosulphide (CP) wa
