High-pressure X-ray diffraction studies have been performed on ThP using synchrotron radiation and a diamond-anvil cell. The bulk modulus B0 and its pressure derivative B'0 have been determined (B0 = 137 GPa; B'0 = 5.1). A phase transition from the NaCl structure to the CsCl structure was observed at about 30 GPa.
