The material structure described by LiP3 is Sodium arsenide structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P(2) and eight equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Li(1), one P(1), and three equivalent P(2) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Li(1) and six equivalent P(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
