The compound described by Th(NiP)2 is alpha Pu-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Th(1) is bonded in a 17-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ni(1), five equivalent Ni(2), four equivalent P(1), and four equivalent P(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ni sites. In the first Ni site, Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent Th(1), one P(1), and three equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing NiTh4P4 tetrahedra. In the second Ni site, Ni(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Th(1), one P(2), and three equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th(1), one Ni(1), and three equivalent Ni(2) atoms. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th(1), one Ni(2), and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
