The material described by Cd2P3Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one P(1), two equivalent P(2), and one Cl(1) atom. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one P(1), two equivalent P(3), and one Cl(1) atom. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to one Cd(1), one Cd(2), one P(2), and one P(3) atom to form distorted corner-sharing PCd2P2 tetrahedra. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to two equivalent Cd(1), one P(1), and one P(3) atom to form distorted corner-sharing PCd2P2 trigonal pyramids. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded to two equivalent Cd(2), one P(1), and one P(2) atom to form distorted corner-sharing PCd2P2 trigonal pyramids. Cl(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Cd(1) and one Cd(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
