The compound described by MnNiP crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1), one P(1), and four equivalent P(2) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mn(1), two equivalent P(1), and two equivalent P(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mn(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Mn(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
