The material structure described by SnP3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SnP6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 18°. P(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
