NdP3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(2) and eight equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NdP12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) atoms.
