PdP3 is Skutterudite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Im-3 space group. Pd(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form PdP6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pd(1)P6 octahedra and corners with twelve equivalent P(1)P2Pd2 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 66°. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form PP2Pd2 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Pd(1)P6 octahedra, corners with ten equivalent P(1)P2Pd2 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one P(1)P2Pd2 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 67°.

Pd(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form PdP6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pd(1)P6 octahedra and corners with twelve equivalent P(1)P2Pd2 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 66°. All Pd(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.45 Å. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form PP2Pd2 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Pd(1)P6 octahedra, corners with ten equivalent P(1)P2Pd2 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one P(1)P2Pd2 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 67°. There is one shorter (2.22 Å) and one longer (2.23 Å) P(1)-P(1) bond length.
