Reinvestigation of trilithium phosphide, Li3P

Y. Dong and F. J. DiSalvo

Abstract: The crystal structure of Li3P has been reinvestigated and confirmed by single-crystal data. The structure is built of Li+ and P3- ions stacked in two kinds of layers perpendicular to the c axis. Atoms Li1, Li2 and P reside at positions of \\overline{6}m2, 3m and \\overline{6}m2 site symmetry, respectively. The only free parameter, z, for Li2 is found to be 0.5839 (4).
