Ag3Ge5P6 crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ag(1) and three equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(1) atoms to form corner-sharing GeP4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to one Ag(1), one Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PAgGe3 tetrahedra.
Ag3Ge5P6 crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ge(2) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. Both Ag(1)-Ge(2) bond lengths are 3.11 Å. Both Ag(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.54 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ag(1) and three equivalent P(1) atoms. All Ge(2)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.45 Å. In the second Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(1) atoms to form corner-sharing GeP4 tetrahedra. All Ge(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.33 Å. P(1) is bonded to one Ag(1), one Ge(2), and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PAgGe3 tetrahedra.
