Mg2P is Cuprite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pn-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PMg4 tetrahedra.
Mg2P is Cuprite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pn-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent P(1) atoms. Both Mg(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.45 Å. P(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PMg4 tetrahedra.
