K2IrN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. K(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing KN5 square pyramids. Ir(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent K(1) and one Ir(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NK5Ir octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-11°.
K2IrN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. K(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing KN5 square pyramids. There are four shorter (2.91 Å) and one longer (2.93 Å) K(1)-N(1) bond length. Ir(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both Ir(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.79 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent K(1) and one Ir(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NK5Ir octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-11°.
