The compound described by Ba(NiP2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 24-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Ni(1) and sixteen equivalent P(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing NiBa4P4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
