Materials Data on Cr3GaP4 by Materials Project
Cr3GaP4 is Lavarevi\'{c}ite structured and crystallizes in the cubic P-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cr3+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form CrP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaP4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent CrP4 tetrahedra. All Cr–P bond lengths are 2.34 Å. Ga3+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form GaP4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CrP4 tetrahedra. All Ga–P bond lengths are 2.39 Å. P3- is bonded to three equivalent Cr3+ and one Ga3+ atom to form corner-sharing PCr3Ga tetrahedra.
