The material structure described by P3N5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form corner-sharing PN4 tetrahedra. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to one N(2), one N(3), and two equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing PN4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one P(1) and two equivalent P(2) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one P(1) and one P(2) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent P(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
