<i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are an important class of ligands capable of making strong carbon-metal bonds. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the study of carbene-ligated nanocrystals, primarily coinage metal nanocrystals, which have found applications as catalysts for numerous reactions. The general ability of NHC ligands to positively affect the catalytic properties of other types of nanocrystal catalysts remains unknown. Herein, we present the first carbene-stabilized Cu<sub>3–<i>x</i></sub>P nanocrystals. Inquiries into the mechanism of formation of NHC-ligated Cu<sub>3-<i>x</i></sub>P nanocrystals suggest that crystalline Cu<sub>3–<i>x</i></sub>P forms directly as a result of a high-temperature metathesis reaction between a tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine precursor and an NHC-CuBr precursor, the latter of which behaves as a source of both carbene ligand and Cu<sup>+</sup>. To study the effect of the NHC surface ligands on catalytic performance, we tested the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolving ability of the NHC-ligated Cu<sub>3–<i>x</i></sub>P nanocrystals and found they possess superior activity to analogous oleylamine-ligated Cu<sub>3–<i>x</i></sub>P nanocrystals. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the NHC ligands minimize unfavorable electrostatic interactions between the copper phosphide surface and H<sup>+</sup> during the first step of the hydrogen evolution reaction, which likely contributes to the superior performance of NHC-ligated Cu<sub>3–<i>x</i></sub>P catalysts as compared to oleylamine-ligated Cu<sub>3–<i>x</i></sub>P catalysts.
