IK1 is Molybdenum Carbide MAX Phase-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. K(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing KI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-49°. I(1) is bonded to six equivalent K(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing IK6 pentagonal pyramids.

K(1) is bonded to six equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing KI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 44-49°. There are a spread of K(1)-I(1) bond distances ranging from 3.57-3.68 Å. I(1) is bonded to six equivalent K(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing IK6 pentagonal pyramids.
