  "abstract": "Vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photolysis of methylphosphine (CH3PH2) isolated in a cryogenic argon matrix yields phosphaethene (CH2PH), methylphosphinidene (CH3P), phosphaethyne (HCP), methane, and phosphorus monohydride (PH) as the primary photoproducts. Subsequent irradiation at 254 nm induces the decomposition of CH2PH, accompanied by the formation of CH3P. In contrast, irradiation at 311 nm promotes the decomposition of CH3P and the PH and ctdot;CH4 complex, leading to the regeneration of CH2PH and CH3PH2. These wavelength-selective photochemical transformations made it possible to carry out the first IR and UV spectroscopic characterization of CH3P and to extend the assignment of infrared bands for CH2PH.",
