PaP3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Pa(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing PaP12 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to four equivalent Pa(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms.
PaP3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Pa(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing PaP12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.79 Å) and six longer (3.06 Å) Pa(1)-P(1) bond lengths. P(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to four equivalent Pa(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. Both P(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.39 Å.
