The crystal structure described by Li3P is Sodium arsenide structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. There are two inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Li(1) and eight equivalent Li(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
