Table 1. P 2p3/2 binding energy values [1].  a) and b) are from standard samples analyzed in this laboratory.

P 2p3/2 - P 2p1/2 splitting value is 0.86 +/- 0.05 eV. [2] has it at 0.84 eV.
Note:
(PO4)3- = phosphate
(P2O7)4- = pyrophosphate
(PO3)- = metaphosphate

Further Values for P 2p3/2
P(C6H5)3 = 131.0 eV +/- 0.4 eV, 20 References
PO(C6H5)3 = 132.6 eV +/- 0.4 eV, 9 References (with O 1s at 530.9 to 531.1 eV)
(PF6)- = 136.4 eV +/- 0.8 eV, 17 References

Table 2. P 2s binding energy values [1].

Update: Recent work on stoichiometric Li3PO4 films gave P 2p3/2 binding energies of between 133.20 to 133.35 eV with FWHM of ~1.2 eV. Li 1s was at 55.26 to 55.52 eV with FWHM of 1.4 eV.
