ScNiP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and five equivalent P(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sc(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
ScNiP crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Sc(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) and five equivalent P(1) atoms. There are a spread of Sc(1)-Ni(1) bond distances ranging from 2.75-2.98 Å. There are three shorter (2.65 Å) and two longer (2.69 Å) Sc(1)-P(1) bond lengths. Ni(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sc(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. Both Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.72 Å. There are two shorter (2.32 Å) and two longer (2.40 Å) Ni(1)-P(1) bond lengths. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sc(1) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
