The material structure described by Hg2P3Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Hg(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one P(2), two equivalent P(1), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Hg(1), one P(1), and one P(2) atom to form distorted corner-sharing PHg2P2 tetrahedra. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to two equivalent Hg(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PHg2P2 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Hg(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
