The material structure described by Zn3P2 crystallizes in the cubic Pn-3m space group. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ZnP4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
