In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four NiO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.59 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–55°. There is two shorter (1.53 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–54°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.57 Å. There are fourteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to three Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni+2.57+ and one P5+ atom.
