Materials Data on Ba3P2 by Materials Project
Ba3P2 is alpha Rhenium trioxide-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of one phosphine molecule and one Ba3P framework. In the Ba3P framework, Ba2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent P3- atoms. Both Ba–P bond lengths are 3.02 Å. P3- is bonded to six equivalent Ba2+ atoms to form corner-sharing PBa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
