Pd3P is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
Pd3P is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P(1) atoms. There are a spread of Pd(2)-P(1) bond distances ranging from 2.33-2.60 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent P(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.31 Å) and one longer (2.32 Å) Pd(1)-P(1) bond length. P(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
