The compound described by EuFe4P12 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3 space group. Eu(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent P(1) atoms to form EuP12 cuboctahedra that share faces with eight equivalent Fe(1)P6 octahedra. Fe(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form FeP6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Fe(1)P6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent Eu(1)P12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. P(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Eu(1), two equivalent Fe(1), and two equivalent P(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
