There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.27–1.32 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.28–1.31 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four NiO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent NaO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent NaO7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–51°. There is three shorter (1.55 Å) and one longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four NiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent NaO7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.57 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites.
