The material structure described by Pd6P crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. There are six inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(4); three Pd(2,2); and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(3); three equivalent Pd(1); three Pd(2,2); three equivalent Pd(4); and one P(1) atom to form distorted PdPPd11 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight Pd(2,2,2)PPd11 cuboctahedra; edges with two equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; edges with four equivalent Pd(2)PPd11 cuboctahedra; faces with five equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; and faces with six Pd(2,2)PPd11 cuboctahedra. In the third Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(3); three equivalent Pd(1); three Pd(2,2); three equivalent Pd(4); and one P(1) atom to form distorted PdPPd11 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight Pd(2,2,2)PPd11 cuboctahedra; edges with two equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; edges with four equivalent Pd(2)PPd11 cuboctahedra; faces with five equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; and faces with six Pd(2,2)PPd11 cuboctahedra. In the fourth Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Pd(2,2) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the fifth Pd site, Pd(4) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(4); four equivalent Pd(1); and six Pd(2,2,2) atoms to form PdPd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; edges with four equivalent Pd(2)PPd11 cuboctahedra; edges with four equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; faces with two equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; and faces with ten Pd(2,2,2)PPd11 cuboctahedra. In the sixth Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded to two equivalent Pd(3), three equivalent Pd(1), three equivalent Pd(2), three equivalent Pd(4), and one P(1) atom to form distorted PdPPd11 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight Pd(2,2)PPd11 cuboctahedra; edges with two equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; edges with four equivalent Pd(2)PPd11 cuboctahedra; faces with five equivalent Pd(4)Pd12 cuboctahedra; and faces with six equivalent Pd(2)PPd11 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two Pd(2,2); two equivalent Pd(3); and four equivalent Pd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
