Ca3Cu2Ni(PO4)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–3.02 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–3.04 Å. In the third Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NiO5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.44 Å. Ni2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form NiO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with five PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one CaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.18 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.00 Å. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted CuO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with five PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one CaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.21 Å. There are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CaO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent NiO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–61°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.58 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CaO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent CuO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–60°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.58 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CaO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one NiO5 trigonal bipyramid, and a cornercorner with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.59 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CaO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one NiO5 trigonal bipyramid, and a cornercorner with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 53°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.60 Å. There are sixteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Ni2+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Ca2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OCa2CuP tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Ca2+, one Ni2+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OCa2NiP tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Ni2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, two Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Ca2+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Ca2+ and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Ni2+, and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the thirteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom.
