The crystal structure described by Cd2P3Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Cd(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one P(2), two equivalent P(1), and one Cl(1) atom. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cd(1), one P(1), and one P(2) atom to form distorted corner-sharing PCd2P2 trigonal pyramids. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to two equivalent Cd(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing PCd2P2 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
