Zr(Ni2P)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
Zr(Ni2P)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.74 Å) and four longer (2.78 Å) Zr(1)-P(1) bond lengths. Ni(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent P(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.24 Å) and two longer (2.26 Å) Ni(1)-P(1) bond lengths. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Zr(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
