NiP2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ni(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing PNi2P2 tetrahedra.
NiP2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Ni(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent P(1) atoms. All Ni(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.19 Å. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent Ni(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing PNi2P2 tetrahedra. Both P(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.22 Å.
