Sodium trimetaphosphate (also STMP), with formula Na₃P₃O₉, is a metaphosphate of sodium. It has the empirical formula NaPO₃. It is the sodium salt of trimetaphosphoric acid. It is a colourless solid that finds specialised applications in food and construction industries. STMP is prepared by heating samples sodium polyphosphate. [2]

Although drawn with a particular resonance structure, the trianion has D_3d symmetry.[3] Hydrolysis of the ring leads to the acyclic sodium triphosphate:

Na₃P₃O₉ + H₂O → H₂Na₃P₃O₁₀

The main reactions of the triphosphate anion is ring-opening by nucleophiles, including amines.[4]
