VCrN2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form VN6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cr(1)N6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)N6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Cr(1)N6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form CrN6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent V(1)N6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent V(1)N6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Cr(1)N6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent V(1) and three equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NV3Cr3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
