The material structure described by CoNiP crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Co(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one P(2) and four equivalent P(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to two equivalent P(1) and two equivalent P(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. In the second P site, P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Co(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
