In the first Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form NiP4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent YP6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with two equivalent NiP5 square pyramids, corners with twelve NiP4 tetrahedra, edges with three YP6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent NiP5 square pyramids, and edges with three NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.32 Å. In the second Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form NiP4 tetrahedra that share corners with four YP6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with two equivalent NiP5 square pyramids, corners with ten NiP4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one YP6 pentagonal pyramid, edges with four equivalent NiP5 square pyramids, and edges with three NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.31 Å. In the third Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form NiP4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent YP6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four equivalent NiP5 square pyramids, corners with ten NiP4 tetrahedra, edges with three YP6 pentagonal pyramids, an edgeedge with one NiP5 square pyramid, and edges with four NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.34 Å. In the fourth Ni+1.25+ site, Ni+1.25+ is bonded to five P3- atoms to form distorted NiP5 square pyramids that share corners with four YP6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four equivalent NiP5 square pyramids, corners with eight NiP4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one YP6 pentagonal pyramid, edges with four equivalent NiP5 square pyramids, and edges with seven NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.54 Å. There are three inequivalent P3- sites. In the first P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y3+ and seven Ni+1.25+ atoms. In the second P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y3+ and seven Ni+1.25+ atoms. In the third P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to nine Ni+1.25+ atoms.
