The crystal structure described by Ni2GeP is Modderite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1), four equivalent Ge(1), and two equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2), two equivalent Ge(1), and four equivalent P(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(2) and four equivalent Ni(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ni(1) and four equivalent Ni(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
