Materials Data on Sn3P by Materials Project
Sn3P crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sn is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Sn and two equivalent P atoms. There are a spread of Sn–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.36 Å. Both Sn–P bond lengths are 3.21 Å. P is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Sn atoms.
