GeP3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing GeP6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 18°. P(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms.
GeP3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing GeP6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 18°. There are three shorter (2.45 Å) and three longer (2.92 Å) Ge(1)-P(1) bond lengths. P(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. Both P(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.21 Å.
