The crystal structure described by LaCo5P3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. La(1) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co(1), four equivalent Co(2), three equivalent P(1), and four equivalent P(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent P(1), and two equivalent P(2) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1), one P(1), and three equivalent P(2) atoms. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La(1), two equivalent Co(2), and four equivalent Co(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent Co(1), two equivalent Co(3), and three equivalent Co(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
