Eu3P crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Eu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing PEu12 cuboctahedra.
Eu3P crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Eu(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.22 Å) and two longer (3.51 Å) Eu(1)-P(1) bond lengths. P(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Eu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing PEu12 cuboctahedra.
