A compound where phosphorus has a -3 oxidation state is a phosphide. Specifically, phosphides are compounds formed when phosphorus reacts with more electronegative elements, such as metals, and acquires a -3 charge. An example is phosphine (PH3), where phosphorus has a formal oxidation state of -3.
