The material described by La2Ni4Ge3P crystallizes in the tetragonal P4mm space group. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ni(2), four equivalent Ge(3), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ni(2), four equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent Ge(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent La(2), two equivalent Ge(2), and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La(1), two equivalent La(2), two equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent Ge(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(2), four equivalent Ni(2), and one Ge(2) atom. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(2), four equivalent Ni(1), and one Ge(1) atom. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), four equivalent Ni(2), and one P(1) atom. P(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La(1), four equivalent Ni(1), and one Ge(3) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
