The material described by Cd3P2 is Hausmannite-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3 space group. Cd(1) is bonded to one P(1) and three equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CdP4 trigonal pyramids. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
