Ni2GeP is Modderite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ni(2) atoms.

In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent P(1) atoms. Both Ni(1)-Ni(1) bond lengths are 2.50 Å. There are a spread of Ni(1)-Ge(1) bond distances ranging from 2.41-2.48 Å. There is one shorter (2.26 Å) and one longer (2.30 Å) Ni(1)-P(1) bond length. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. Both Ni(2)-Ni(2) bond lengths are 2.49 Å. There is one shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.54 Å) Ni(2)-Ge(1) bond length. There are a spread of Ni(2)-P(1) bond distances ranging from 2.26-2.38 Å. Ge(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ni(2) atoms.
