The structure described by GeP3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing GeP6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 18°. P(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
