Novel routes to nanocomposites of transition metal phosphides will be presented. Silica xerogels containing covalently attached organometallic or other coordination compounds were prepared using standard sol-gel methods. The doped xerogels were thermally treated in a reducing atmosphere to yield the desired nanocomposite. Using these techniques, Fe{sub 2}P, RuP, Co{sub 2}P, Rh{sub 2}P, Ni{sub 2}P, Pd{sub 5}P{sub 2}, and PtP{sub 2} nanocomposites have been prepared and characterized.
