NdCo2P2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Nd(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Co(1) and eight equivalent P(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to four equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing CoNd4P4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Nd(1) and four equivalent Co(1) atoms.
