The material structure described by Er3P is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Er sites. In the first Er site, Er(1) is bonded to four equivalent Er(1), four equivalent Er(2), and four equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted ErEr8P4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Er(1)Er8P4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent Er(1)Er8P4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent P(1)Er12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent P(1)Er12 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten equivalent Er(1)Er8P4 cuboctahedra. In the second Er site, Er(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to eight equivalent Er(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded to four equivalent Er(2) and eight equivalent Er(1) atoms to form PEr12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent P(1)Er12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent P(1)Er12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent Er(1)Er8P4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent P(1)Er12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Er(1)Er8P4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
