Li2Ni(PO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three LiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–1.98 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.01 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.05 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with two NiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.06 Å. There are two inequivalent Ni4+ sites. In the first Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form NiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.90 Å. In the second Ni4+ site, Ni4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form NiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.89 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 NiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra. 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 NiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.57 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two NiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two NiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four LiO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.52 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. There are sixteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni4+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni4+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni4+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni4+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni4+ and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the thirteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Ni4+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Ni4+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Li1+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni4+ and one P5+ atom.
