The structure described by NiP2 is Pyrite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form NiP6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ni(1)P6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent P(1)Ni3P tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 64°. P(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ni(1) and one P(1) atom to form distorted PNi3P tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Ni(1)P6 octahedra and corners with fifteen equivalent P(1)Ni3P tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 78°. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
