LiEuP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded to three equivalent Eu(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing LiEu3P4 tetrahedra. Eu(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) and five equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and five equivalent Eu(1) atoms.
LiEuP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Li(1) is bonded to three equivalent Eu(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing LiEu3P4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (3.04 Å) and one longer (3.05 Å) Li(1)-Eu(1) bond length. There are a spread of Li(1)-P(1) bond distances ranging from 2.58-2.75 Å. Eu(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) and five equivalent P(1) atoms. There are a spread of Eu(1)-P(1) bond distances ranging from 3.01-3.11 Å. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1) and five equivalent Eu(1) atoms.
