The structure described by SrNiP2O7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Sr(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(5), one O(6), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(7) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(5), one O(6), and one O(7) atom to form NiO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent P(2)O4 tetrahedra and corners with three equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), and one O(6) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one P(2)O4 tetrahedra and corners with three equivalent Ni(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), and one O(7) atom to form PO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one P(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent Ni(1)O5 trigonal bipyramids. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(5) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Sr(1), one Ni(1), and one P(2) atom. In the second O site, O(6) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Sr(1), one Ni(1), and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(7) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr(1), one Ni(1), and one P(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sr(1), one Ni(1), and one P(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Sr(1), one Ni(1), and one P(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Sr(1) and one P(2) atom.
