WN2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. W(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing WN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent W(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There are four shorter (2.01 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) W(1)-N(1) bond lengths. N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent W(1) atoms.
