The structure described by GeP2 is Pyrite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form GeP6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ge(1)P6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent P(1)Ge3P tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 67°. P(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ge(1) and one P(1) atom to form PGe3P tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Ge(1)P6 octahedra and corners with fifteen equivalent P(1)Ge3P tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 75°. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
