Cd3P is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Cd(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Cd(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted CdCd8P4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Cd8P4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent P(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Cd(1)Cd8P4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent P(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent Cd(1)Cd8P4 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form PCd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent P(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent Cd(1)Cd8P4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent P(1)Cd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent Cd(1)Cd8P4 cuboctahedra.
