The material described by CeP3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ce(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing CeP12 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
