The structure described by AlI4I4(P) is Iron carbide-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four phosphorus tetraiodide molecules and four AlI4 clusters. In each AlI4 cluster, Al(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one I(1), one I(3), one I(6), and one I(8) atom. There are four inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom. In the second I site, I(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom. In the third I site, I(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom. In the fourth I site, I(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
