TaON is Baddeleyite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Ta(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TaN4O3 pentagonal bipyramids. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ta(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NTa4 tetrahedra. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Ta(1) atoms.

Ta(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TaN4O3 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ta(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.05-2.16 Å. There are a spread of Ta(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.01-2.16 Å.
