The structure described by Ni6Ge2P crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ge(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ge(1) and one P(1) atom. Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni(1) and six equivalent Ni(2) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni(2) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
