Materials Data on SrP3 by Materials Project
SrP3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to nine P+0.67- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–P bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.48 Å. There are two inequivalent P+0.67- sites. In the first P+0.67- site, P+0.67- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one Sr2+ and three P+0.67- atoms. There are two shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.28 Å) P–P bond lengths. In the second P+0.67- site, P+0.67- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sr2+ and two P+0.67- atoms. The P–P bond length is 2.25 Å.
