LiPN2 is Chalcopyrite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form distorted LiN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent P(1)N4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form PN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent P(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra. N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent P(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NLi2P2 trigonal pyramids.
