NiMoP2 is Modderite-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1) and six equivalent P(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to two equivalent Mo(1) and six equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NiMo2P6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. P(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
