Materials Data on Ni3P by Materials Project
Ni3P crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ni1+ sites. In the first Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent P3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.26 Å) Ni–P bond lengths. In the second Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent P3- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.35 Å. In the third Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded to four equivalent P3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.33 Å. P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ni1+ atoms.
