Materials Data on Pa3P4 by Materials Project
Pa3P4 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pa4+ is bonded to eight equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing PaP8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are four shorter (2.84 Å) and four longer (2.90 Å) Pa–P bond lengths. P3- is bonded to six equivalent Pa4+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing PPa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–51°.
