The material structure described by W2NiP3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ni(1), one P(3), two equivalent P(2), and three equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second W site, W(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Ni(2), one P(1), two equivalent P(3), and three equivalent P(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(1), two equivalent P(3), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded to two equivalent W(2), two equivalent P(2), and four equivalent P(3) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing NiP6W2 octahedra. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one W(2), three equivalent W(1), and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W(1), three equivalent W(2), and one Ni(2) atom. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one W(1), two equivalent W(2), one Ni(1), and two equivalent Ni(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
