Materials Data on K2CuP by Materials Project
K2CuP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent P3- atoms. There are a spread of K–P bond distances ranging from 3.34–3.49 Å. Cu1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent P3- atoms. Both Cu–P bond lengths are 2.25 Å. P3- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent K1+ and two equivalent Cu1+ atoms.
