The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–58°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.60 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four NiO6 octahedra and edges with two NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 36–59°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.59 Å. There are fourteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni2+ and one P5+ atom.
