Materials Data on CdAsP by Materials Project
CdAsP crystallizes in the orthorhombic I2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cd2+ is bonded to two equivalent As1- and two equivalent P1- atoms to form distorted CdAs2P2 trigonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent PCd2As2 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent CdAs2P2 trigonal pyramids. Both Cd–As bond lengths are 2.77 Å. Both Cd–P bond lengths are 2.65 Å. As1- is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ and two equivalent P1- atoms. Both As–P bond lengths are 2.35 Å. P1- is bonded to two equivalent Cd2+ and two equivalent As1- atoms to form distorted PCd2As2 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent PCd2As2 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent CdAs2P2 trigonal pyramids.
